Please see here for more information on Hold and Resume.

1. Shop

Get availability

GetAvailabilityOperationParams getAvailabilityOperationParams = GetAvailabilityOperationParams.builder()
    .checkin("YYYY-MM-DD")
    .checkout("YYYY-MM-DD")
    .currency("USD")
    .language("en_US")
    .countryCode("US")
    .occupancy(List.of("OCCUPANCY"))
    .propertyId(List.of("PROPERTY ID"))
    .customerIp("127.0.0.1")
    .ratePlanCount(BigDecimal.ONE)
    .salesChannel("SALES CHANNEL")
    .salesEnvironment("SALES ENVIRONMENT")
    .build();

GetAvailabilityOperation getAvailabilityOperation = new GetAvailabilityOperation(getAvailabilityOperationParams);
Response<List<Property>> propertiesResponse = rapidClient.execute(getAvailabilityOperation);

Check room prices

Property property = propertiesResponse.getData().get(0);

if (!(property instanceof PropertyAvailability)) {
    return;
}

PropertyAvailability propertyAvailability = (PropertyAvailability) property;
Link propertyAvailabilityLink = propertyAvailability.getRooms().get(0).getRates().get(0).getBedGroups().entrySet().stream().findFirst().get().getValue().getLinks().getPriceCheck(); // selecting the first rate for the first room
PriceCheckOperationContext priceCheckOperationContext = PriceCheckOperationContext.builder().customerIp("1.2.3.4").customerSessionId("12345").build(); // fill the context as needed
PriceCheckOperation priceCheckOperation = new PriceCheckOperation(propertyAvailabilityLink, priceCheckOperationContext);
Response<RoomPriceCheck> response = rapidClient.execute(priceCheckOperation);
RoomPriceCheck roomPriceCheck = response.getData();

Resume on-hold booking

Link resumeBookingLink = itineraryCreation.getLinks().getResume(); // from the previous step
PutResumeBookingOperationContext putResumeBookingOperationContext = PutResumeBookingOperationContext.builder().customerIp("1.2.3.4").customerSessionId("12345").build(); // fill the context as needed
