API Operations (CHM)

This section describes the Channel Manager side of the Mews Channel Manager API, i.e. API Operations hosted by the Channel Manager. The Channel Manager side receives requests from Mews, including inventory updates (prices, availability and restrictions) and booking confirmations. The list of supported operations is as follows, organised here by theme.
