This message allows one to bring back an array for a single month up to a year; and can be for all Room Types or a single Room Type to make an availability calendar.  If the Site has a setting for 'show lowest rate' then the lowest rate available for a day will come back with the availability array.  If the feature 'show lowest rate' is not set for a Site there is no rate information returned.  

<RoomType RoomTypeCode="ALL" Date="19-OCT-2023" Quantity="1" NumberOfUnits="1" OOO="N" Rate="112.00" IsRoom="true" /> - this array shows the daily lowest rate for the availability for the day.

<RoomType RoomTypeCode="STANDARD" Date="19-OCT-2023" Quantity="3" NumberOfUnits="3" OOO="N" IsRoom="true" /> - this array has no rate info, as 'show lowest rate' is not set.

Here is an example of a calendar used in one of our Booking Engines with lowest rate data showing.

OTA_HotelResRetrieve - (Get an array of limited booking data)

This message uses a GET call to retrieve a list of bookings that have a 'last modified date/time' so that an array can be called to deliver the basic details that most revenue management and marketing companies need. Because it supports both DATE and TIME values, this message is ideal for outside companies to keep a record of booking activity in an outside system. If a booking was cancelled that returns a brief array with the cancellation number of the original booking as well as the cancellation number assigned to the booking.

Past and Future bookings: opt to include Cancelled 

A service requiring authentication to obtain a list of Booking IDs for a date range.

Similar message for CURRENT/FUTURE Booking ID's based on Arrival Date with a status of Active, Confirmed, and Unconfirmed and can be optional for those Cancelled.
