For more information, see Getting started with Rapid.
1. Set up a Java development environment
Your development environment needs to have Java 8 or later. You can use Apache Maven or Gradle to configure SDK dependencies for your projects.
2. Create a service client and configure it
To make requests to Rapid endpoints, create a service client and configure it with your credentials.
RapidClient rapidClient =
RapidClient
.builder()
.key("KEY")
.secret("SECRET")
.build();
3. Make API calls
The service client has a method for each endpoint in the Rapid API. You can access the endpoint by calling the corresponding method with the required parameters.
GetAvailabilityOperationParams getAvailabilityOperationParams = GetAvailabilityOperationParams.builder()
.checkin("YYYY-MM-DD")
.checkout("YYYY-MM-DD")
.currency("USD")
.language("en_US")
/* ... */
.build();
GetAvailabilityOperation getAvailabilityOperation = new GetAvailabilityOperation(getAvailabilityOperationParams);
Response<List<Property>> propertiesResponse = rapidClient.execute(getAvailabilityOperation);
System.out.println(propertiesResponse.getData());
Asynchronous execution
The service client also offers asynchronous methods for each endpoint. You can access the endpoint by calling the corresponding asynchronous method with the required parameters.
GetAvailabilityOperationParams getAvailabilityOperationParams = GetAvailabilityOperationParams.builder()
.checkin("YYYY-MM-DD")
.checkout("YYYY-MM-DD")
.currency("USD")
.language("en_US")
/* ... */
.build();
GetAvailabilityOperation getAvailabilityOperation = new GetAvailabilityOperation(getAvailabilityOperationParams);
/*
The executeAsync method is used to perform an asynchronous operation with the rapidClient,
allowing the application to continue executing other tasks while waiting for the operation to complete.
*/
CompleteableFuture getAvailability = rapidClient.executeAsync(getAvailabilityOperation)
.thenAccept(response -> System.out.println(response.getData()));
