Problem Statement:
- Currently, there is no supported Public API endpoint to read or update property-level Base/Nightly Rate and Weekend Rate fields
- These fields can be edited directly in the Hospitable web app (Pricing → Base price tab), but there is no programmatic way to access them via the API
- The existing calendar pricing endpoints only allow updating individual date-specific prices, which does not meet the use case of synchronizing standard nightly rates while preserving manual calendar overrides
Current Workaround:
- Manually updating the Base/Nightly Rate and Weekend Rate fields in the Hospitable web app
- Using the calendar pricing API endpoint to set individual date prices, which is not equivalent to updating the underlying Base/Nightly Rate and Weekend Rate and can interfere with workflows that rely on intentional date-specific overrides
Impact:
- Operational inefficiency: Manual updates are required for every rate change
- Risk of errors: Manual processes are prone to mistakes
- Inability to synchronize pricing from internal systems: Cannot automate rate updates from external pricing tools while preserving date-specific overrides
Proposed Solution:
- Add a supported Public API endpoint (accessible via Personal Access Token) to read and update property-level Base/Nightly Rate and Weekend Rate fields
- The endpoint should update the base rates without modifying individual calendar-date prices or overwriting existing manual calendar overrides
Unlock:
- Ability to synchronize standard nightly rates from internal pricing systems automatically
- Preservation of intentional date-specific overrides already set in Hospitable
- Reduced manual effort and risk of errors in pricing management
