Request

[PlatformAddress]/api/channelManager/v1/getConfiguration

{
    "clientToken": "[Channel manager client token]",
    "connectionToken": "[Token of a concrete connection]",
    "extent": {
        "includeUnsynchronizedRates": true,

extent	Configuration extent object	optional	Specifies what to include in the return data.

Configuration Extent

Property	Type	Contract	Description
includeUnsynchronizedRates	bool	optional	If true, unsynchronized Rate plans will be returned as well. Unsynchronized rate plan means that Mews will not push prices and restrictions for that rate plan, but when a reservation comes with the rate plan code, Mews will link the correct rate plan with the reservation.
includeProducts	bool	optional	If true, products mapped to a channel manager rate plan will be returned. Products mapped to a channel manager rate plan means that Mews sends a total price combining nightly price and product price in Update Prices requests.
includeCompanies	bool	optional	If true, mapped profiles for companies (e.g. Microsoft) and travel agencies (e.g. Expedia) will be returned. A company profile needs to be mapped with a Channel code. To map a travel agency, follow the guide Setting up travel agencies.
includeUnsynchronizedCategories	bool	optional	If true, unsynchronized space categories will be returned as well. Unsynchronized space category means that Mews will not push availability for that space category, but when a reservation comes with the space category code, Mews will link the correct space category with the reservation.
includeAgeCategories	bool	optional	If true, age categories mapped to a channel manager integration will be returned.

Get channels

Get the list of all supported channels (including OTAs or Online Travel Agents) plus their assigned mapping codes.

Note: The mapping code is not a continuous sequence of numbers, there are some gaps. Gaps arise because OTAs get merged over time or otherwise disappear. New Channels will always be added to the bottom of the list, so you can easily keep track. Please check the list periodically to update your channels list.
