This page lists the available APIs and gives general information on how to use them. 

Use of the API

The API functions are available at https://manage.bookingautomation.com/api

To use the API you need to allow API ACCESS. Go to SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> ACCOUNT ACCESS and allow API access. The API is available at https://manage.bookingautomation.com/api

• The XML functions can be accessed with your BookingAutomation username and password.
• The JSON functions can be created with a API and prop key which you set yourself in the BookingAutomation control panel {#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)ACCOUNT and {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ACCESS

The default limit is 60 API calls per 5 minutes for an account.

You should design your interface to eliminate unnecessary calls.

If you put a delay of 5 seconds between calls you should have no problems.
