Integration overview

Use the Property API to read (GET), set property details or update (PUT), or deactivate a property (DELETE).

If you are looking for information about capabilities offered by additional APIs, such as Product API or Image API, refer to the overview page.

Integration steps and timeline

  1. Gain access to the Property API:

    • If you use other Expedia Group APIs, access https://services.expediapartnercentral.com/properties/v1 in a browser and provide your API username and password credentials when prompted.
    • If you are a new partner, you must register with Expedia and obtain API credentials by submitting your request on this page. You can also obtain the rights to use a test property to run tests before going to production with a new integration.

    A Technical Account Manager contacts you to set priorities and determine your needs. Then, the Integration team and an Engagement Manager schedules a kick-off call, where you will meet the Integration team and review desired settings and address API questions, issues, and expectations.

  2. Develop the Property API for reading, creating, and updating properties. Be sure to adhere to our requirements and best practices.

  3. Ensure that the Property API service sends updates to properties on Expedia Group points of sale for a beta property.

  4. Provide the Integration team with a small group of additional properties (usually 4-10) in the production environment they would like to connect to for additional testing.

  5. Work with the Integration team to test and validate the data and troubleshoot any issues.

Integration testing

When ready to test your integration, you must "soft launch" at least 10 live (production) properties under the supervision of your Engagement Manager. These properties will be used for testing in production, and the EM will assist and point out any issues so that properties are onboarded successfully. Once the initial 10 properties are onboarded, you must continue onboarding additional properties during a monitoring period of 10 working days, reaching a total of at least 100 onboarded properties. If all properties onboarded during this period are successfully completed, the Property API implementation will be considered complete. Properties that meet the auto-go-live minimum requirements will go live automatically (auto-go-live applies to the vacation rentals only).

After launch

  • Continue to adhere to our License Agreement
  • Monitor your Property API connection for any errors
  • Report any errors received in any Property API response and how they have been resolved
