Hotel Data API

Accommodation data is the core of Veetal Connect API: eight datasets covering what a hotel charges, what it has left, what its competitors do and how its price holds across channels — all normalized into one schema and reachable with one key.

The eight accommodation datasets

• Hotel rates — price per night and total, with board, occupancy, cancellation policy and promotional rates attached.
• Availability — day by day, including minimum stays and closeouts.
• Competitor rates — your comp set in the same call and the same schema as your own property.
• Rate parity — a parity score showing where a channel sits below your direct price.
• Hotel details, photos and room types — the content that turns a price into a listing.
• Market demand — how much interest a destination is attracting.

Two layers, chosen by the question

The Feed layer serves pre-processed data from scheduled imports on the hotels and competitor sets you configure: cheap to read, and it accumulates the history that trend charts and forecasting models need. The Real Time layer fetches live data for any property on demand and consumes credits, with caching configurable from 0 to 24 hours.

The rule that keeps costs sane: Feed for the recurring and configured, Real Time for the one-off and arbitrary.

Sources

Booking.com is the deepest and the only one that returns a whole destination at once. Google Hotels returns a hotel's price on every OTA in a single call, which is what makes parity work possible. Expedia is the contrast channel, and Airbnb covers the short-let supply that competes with hotels and never appears in hotel feeds.

What a rate feed alone cannot tell you

Price is the dataset everybody sells. The difference shows up in what sits around it: a managed competitor set so every answer is comparative rather than about you alone, an event calendar with hotel demand attached — roomnights per day and pressure against a city's room inventory — and inbound flight fares, which move before hotel demand does. That is the gap between knowing what the market charged yesterday and knowing what it will charge in March.
