stayz.com.au calendar api/integration?

Posted @

Wondering if anyone has worked with stayz.com.au with a client, and if they enable you to use the booking calendar for a property you may have on there on your own site?

Basically looking at a way that a client could have a booking calendar on their own site as well as their properties on Stayz, but not need to maintain two separate calendars manually all the time.

Cheers.

Not me, but you could give them a call or email and ask if they have an API. Bloody good idea to implement one if they don't....

I've had some dealings with them on an unconnected (and much simpler) client matter, and they were absolutely hopeless in dealing with on getting anything custom done. Even simple custom for something a client was paying for.

Hence would be much more pain-free if there was already something existing, so thought I'd ask first.

But one negative they might see from having this would be that it dilutes traffic to their own site, which they would probably like to avoid. But can't hurt to ask...

Any luck with this. Looking at something similar that Airbnb seem to do with a simple iCal style integration that just syncs with there online Calendar. Can't see anything of such document with Stayz unfortunately

Gawd, so long ago the thread doesn't even have a date! Sorry, no memory of how this worked out at all...

incredibly easy process - just linked page to url supplied.

obviously not stayz or airbnb though.

This thread may be dead but I had come across this while searching.
I made an account just to make this post.
Stayz (homeaway) has yet to respond to my email but I will assume no API exists as of yet.

My solution was to send a request to
https://www.stayz.com.au/services/1.0/availability/calendar?propertyId=xxxxxx&firstDate=01/xx/20xx&lastDate=01/xx/20xx (where x's are respective digits), with atleast one month difference between firstDate and lastDate.
Leaving the 1st for both dates made it easier to grab whole months at a time. (For my purpose, whole months were required).

Since this violates CORS, I routed the above request through
https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/
If this is down, you can create your own, as github has a copy.

Dates are returned in JSON format, which makes for easy integration .
To avoid having to code a calendar myself, I used https://github.com/zabuto/calendar
A few small modifications to the javascript and voila, fully integrated calendar on any site that is matched with stayz.

*Although this will be of little use to you now, may help any future readers
