Introduction
Zodomus is a channel manager API created to provide easy and affordable access to OTA's (Online Travel Agencies, like Booking, Expedia and Airbnb).

A channel manager is a tool that allows access to Rates, Availability and Bookings from any connected channel.

To use Zodomus in production you will need to have previous access to OTA properties and to associate Zodomus as a channel manager in some OTA's or provide us your autentication data to access the OTA's (depends on the OTA's channel manager proceedings).

However you can test Zodomus and prepare your code using our sandbox until you have access to real properties in OTA's.

Since we are also Content API certified you will be able to create and modify properties, rooms and rates.

Zodomus also provide more advanced OTA APIs like:

- Promotions,
- Guest reviews,
- Opportunities,
- Reporting,
- Guest Communications

as provided by the OTA's.

Zodomus OTA certifications

Airbnb certified partner.

Other OTA's will be available soon.

It's easy to use our API's
Zodomus API's are REST API's with JSON requests and responses.
On the API reference, available after registration, you can get a detailed reference for each API.

Our API endpoint is : https://api.zodomus.com

All your API calls must use HTTPS and TLS 1.2
Zodomus uses Basic Authentication, with the API User and API Password keys provided in the backoffice.

Let's see some examples to call one simple API : https://api.zodomus.com/channels, to get a list of active channels.

curl:
                    
                    curl -u api_key_user:api_key_password -i -H 'Accept:application/json' https://api.zodomus.com/channels
                    
                    
Guzzle (Http client for PHP):
                    
                      $credentials = base64_encode($api_key_user.":".$api_key_password);
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$url="https://api.zodomus.com/channels";
$response = $client->request('GET',$url, [
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => ['Basic '.$credentials],
'Content-type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF8'
]
]);
Python:
                      
                      import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
r = requests.post('https://api.zodomus.com/channels', auth=HTTPBasicAuth('api_key_user', 'api_key_password'))
C#:
                      
                      WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(@"https://api.zodomus.com/channels");
                      req.Method = "GET";
                      req.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes("api_key_user:api_key_password"));
                      HttpWebResponse resp = req.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

Our support team is available during tests if you need.
Access to production
To get access to production you need to have tested all API's in test mode with no errors at least once.
You also need to pass our certification tests in order to go to production.
To pass our certification you should call our support so that we can follow with you all the steps needed to pass certification.

PCI complaince and security
Anyone involved with the processing, transmission or storage of credit card data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

Zodomus is PCI DSS compliant to store credit card data.

PCI compliance is a shared responsibility and applies to both Zodomus and your business.
If you are not PCI DSS compliant you should not store card data in your system, you should use Zodomus to access card data and not store it.
All our users must validate their PCI compliance if they need to access credit card data in Production.
If you don't store card data, usually you can do this with a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) provided by the PCI Security Standards Council.

If you need any help regarding security call our support team.

Your API calls must use HTTPS and a modern version of TLS (TLS 1.2 or bigger).
You get can a free certificate at Let's Encrypt or any other provider. TLS can be easily setup if you are a developer, but if you need help, please call our support.
You can check your SSL security using Qualys SSL Labs to make sure you have everything set up in a secure way.
