Hotel Competitor Rates API

A competitor rates API returns what the hotels you price against are charging — not one by one, but as a set, in a single call and a single schema. That difference is what separates rate shopping you can automate from rate shopping someone does by hand every morning.

The comp set is the product

You attach a competitor set to each of your properties once, and from then on every rate, parity and reputation answer comes back about your hotel and the hotels it competes with. Without it, the same endpoints return a price list about you alone, which is not a comparison. The add your hotel and its comp set recipe covers the setup.

What comes back

For each competitor and each date: the rate with its conditions — occupancy, board, cancellation policy, room type — plus the flags that distort a naive comparison, like genius and mobile-only offers. You can narrow the report to the minimum rate per competitor, or to a single competitor, and pull it for one date or a whole month.

Like for like, or not at all

A cheapest-rate-per-hotel table quietly compares your flexible rate against someone else's non-refundable one, and the conclusion it produces is that you are expensive. Filtering to the same board and the same cancellation policy is the whole difference between a number that is true and one that costs you money.

From report to decision

The competitive intelligence recipe crosses comp-set rates with ranking and guest sentiment in one question, so a gap surfaces the day it opens rather than in next week's report.

Who uses it

Revenue managers and revenue agencies running daily rate shopping across a portfolio, hotel chains benchmarking properties on one scale, and BI teams feeding competitive position into pricing models.
