New reservations

Booking Notification API uses the <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ/RS> message pair to send notifications for traveler reservations from Expedia Group to the property’s system. Requests from Expedia Group will be made using the <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ> message and responses from properties will be received in the <OTA_HotelResNotifRS> message.

The Expedia Group’s internal @ResID_Value will be placed in a <HotelReservationID> element in the <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ> message. When reservations are confirmed (positive response), you will return an <OTA_HotelResNotifRS> response message with an additional <HotelReservationID> that will contain your confirmation number. Expedia Group uses the two following @ResID_Type values:

  • 3 for Confirmation
  • 8 for Reservation

For reservation (OTA_HotelResNotifRQ), Expedia Group uses 8 to send its reservation number. For modification (OTA_HotelResModifyNotifRQ), Expedia Group uses 3 for your confirmation number and 8 for the Expedia Group reservation number.

To understand how Expedia Virtual Card impacts the booking process, see What is Expedia Virtual Card?.

The Booking Notification API uses SOAP, and all requests and responses must be sent over a secure connection. All request and response bodies, including errors, are encoded in XML. The Booking Notification API follows the Expedia Group XML schema definition, so be sure to download the latest version and use it to validate your responses.

Request

The <OTA_HotelResNotifRQ> element is the root element for new reservations, and it requires the xmlns attribute, which is the namespace to which this message belongs. Current namespace for requests is http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05. The message also requires additional attributes for the request to be recognized by your system.
