AwardWallet Hotel Reward Availability API

Introduction

The AwardWallet Hotel Award Search API enables developers to search for hotel reward availability and pricing in points across major loyalty programs. It is designed for applications that need reliable, up-to-date award inventory data to power hotel search, comparison, and booking experiences.

This RESTful API operates asynchronously. Developers submit a hotel search request, which is processed in the background, and retrieve results once available via callback or polling. The API returns detailed information about available hotels, including room types, redemption rates in points, cash co-pay amounts (if applicable), and property-level metadata.

The API supports flexible search parameters such as destination, travel dates, occupancy, and loyalty account credentials, allowing for both guest and account-based searches.

Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

                    
                        # TODO: With php. Build php example

                    
# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
-H "X-Authentication: userapikey"

Every API call needs to be authenticated with an API authentication token. This token is passed in the "X-Authentication" field in the HTTPS request header. The token is formed by concatenating the API username and API password with a ":" symbol. You need to contact us to get your API credentials.

X-Authentication: YourUserName:YourPassword

Providers

List supported providers

The /providers/list method gives you all the providers that we support at any given point in time under this API. This list will change over time, so you need to periodically call this method to get any changes.

Request Example

                            
{
  "provider": "marriott",
  "destination": "Atlanta, Georgia, United States",
  "checkInDate": "2027-04-16",
  "checkOutDate": "2027-04-18",

    "browserState": "x7hxa87s87as\u2026xm89s"
  }
}

Request

POST https://ra-hotels.awardwallet.com/v1/search

Request Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
provider	string	true	Alpha-numeric value with no spaces that uniquely identifies any given provider. Can be retrieved from the `/providers/list` method
destination	string	true	At what destinations are you looking to find hotels
checkInDate	string	true	Desired hotel check-in date in the following format `2023-04-16`
checkOutDate	string	false	Desired hotel check-out date in the following format `2023-04-18`
numberOfRooms	integer	true	Number of rooms you want to search for. At the moment we only support searching maximum for 2 rooms
numberOfAdults	integer	true	Number of adults per room (maximum 4)
numberOfKids	integer	true	Number of kids per room (maximum 4)
downloadPreview	boolean	false	If set to true, the API will retrieve the hotel preview image and pass it as base64 encoded string
priority	integer	true	Request priority values range from 1 to 9, where 1 is the lowest priority and 9 is the highest priority. In some cases, we throttle requests with priorities lower than X (default is 9). Please use this attribute to separate background searches from foreground searches. In other words, background searches could have a priority of 1 (lowest), and hotel searches when an actual user is waiting for search results should be run with the priority of 9 (highest). This way, your background searches will never negatively impact your live users.
callbackUrl	uri	false	All callback URLs must be registered with us before use. For production deployments, this is the recommended way to work with our API. Here is how it works. You send us a request for a hotel search, and we send you the response as soon as we finished parsing the website to the callback URL that was sent with the request. We will use http / basic authentication to authenticate ourselves. So when setting up your callback URLs with us, you also need to provide a username (i.e. awardwallet) and a password that we will use to authenticate ourselves when sending callbacks to that URL. To register your callbacks, we do not need the full path to your endpoint; we do not need the protocol or the port number; all we need is the domain. If your callback URL is https://api.mydomain.com:8080/path/to/my/endpoint, we would only need to register api.mydomain.com. We also support wildcards, so if you have multiple subdomains, we could register *.mydomain.com. We will send headers that look as follows with our callbacks: Content-type: 'application/json' Authorization: 'Basic YXdhcmR3YWxsZXQ6cGFzc3dvcmQ=' where `YXdhcmR3YWxsZXQ6cGFzc3dvcmQ=` is a base64 encoded string of the username and password separated by a colon, i.e. awardwallet:password When we send our callbacks, we expect to receive code 200. If we get anything other than code 200, we will keep re-trying to send you the response. The page itself can be empty as long as we get code 200
userData	string	false	Any data you wish to send. It will be returned untouched in the response. Could be used for matching requests to responses
loyaltyAccount	object	false	Loyalty program account credentials to use in the search

Response Example

  "requestId": "660d54da7s34d8ee39e29584"
