The BookingCenter Booking Engine can be used to deliver selected Rates a=
nd Availability to a guest, agent, group, etc. by creating unique URL=
or link. When this URL is opened, it will display your Booking Engine with=

only want to make the KING Room Type available to a particular guest, agen=
t, group, etc. You would insert the Room Type ID in the URL as follows:
There are several unique parameters that can be used in the URL = string to deliver specific rates and availability as follows:
To learn how to insert these paramete= rs into the Custom URL, see below.
NOTE: If you need greater control than what is offered in the examples a= bove, please see our interface APIs that enable even greater control= of the Booking process so you can make your own Booking Engine process. &n= bsp;An especially common request is the ability to retrieve a calen= dar view of availability, and even the lowest rate available on a = day, so that you can display it for your entire property or for a specific = Room Type. See our interface APIs and note themessage: "OTA_ Ho= telAvailCalendarRQ/RS" to retrieve and format this data as you wish.
