For a general overview and step-by-step guide to the integration process for all Mews Open API integrations, see . This page focuses specifically on developing an integration with the Mews Channel Manager API.

Setting up the integration

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Obtain your Client Token: Request your Client Token from Mews. This token identifies you as a Mews client when making requests to the Mews Channel Manager API. Note: The Client Token is consistent across all connected properties, but differs between environments (e.g. Test and Production).

  2. Set up Channel Manager side endpoints: Set up your channel manager side API endpoints to accept requests from Mews, using the same Client Token provided for Mews-side authentication. While you can use a different token, we recommend using the same one for simplicity.

  3. Share endpoint URLs with Mews: Provide Mews with the endpoint URLs for supported Channel Manager API operations. Tip: You can submit these URLs gradually, especially during development. Production URLs can be shared after certification if preferred.

Connecting a property

To connect a property, follow these steps:

  1. Create the connection in Mews: A connection must first be established in Mews Operations. This can be done by the property.

    • When created, all spaces and rates are assigned default mapping codes automatically.

    • If your system requires specific mapping codes, provide them during this step, as Mews default codes can be modified by the property.

  2. Obtain the Connection Token: The Connection Token identifies the specific link between the property and your system. You can get it in two ways:

    • Use the API operation to retrieve all connections and identify new ones.

    • Request the token directly from the property.

  3. Retreive the connection configuration: Fetch the connection’s configuration to complete the setup:

    • Use the API operation.

    • Alternatively, request the configuration details from the property.

  4. Configure the connection: Configure the connection on your channel manager system to finalize the integration.
