using mews booking engine api to display daily prices in a custom calendar mews community skip to main content community getting started discuss mews products mews api using mews booking engine api to display daily prices in a custom calendar solved using mews booking engine api to display daily prices in a custom calendar forum forum 1 month ago april 12 2026 4 replies 76 views g gerchou community newcomer hello i m currently working on improving the booking experience on our hotel website which is connected to mews today we use the standard mews booking engine via a custom front end form check in check out promo code which redirects users to mews for the final booking we would like to enhance this experience by adding a custom calendar on our website that displays daily prices and availability directly within the date picker before redirecting users to the mews booking engine to clarify our goal is not to modify availability or pricing in mews but only to retrieve availability and pricing data read only and display it in a custom calendar interface on our website while still using the mews booking engine for the final booking flow from the documentation it seems that the booking engine api could be the right approach but i would like to confirm a few points is the booking engine api the correct api to use for retrieving daily availability and pricing for this type of use case is it possible to retrieve pricing at a daily level per date suitable for a calendar display are there any limitations or best practices e g rate limits caching we should be aware of for this kind of front end usage does this require a specific subscription level e g enterprise or is it generally available are there recommended endpoints such as availability related operations for this purpose we are aiming to build a lightweight front end layer on top of mews without replacing the booking engine itself thanks in advance for your guidance best answer by josue orellana hello gerchou i m josue one of the community ambassadors and i m happy to help clarify your question regarding the booking engine calendar to be fully transparent the exact experience you re aiming for a custom calendar on your website that shows day by day prices and availability while still using the standard mews booking engine for the final booking step is not something we currently support in a reliable way via the booking engine api the api does not provide a lightweight calendar style pricing endpoint and using it to poll daily prices for an entire calendar would quickly run into rate limit and performance issues in practice achieving what you describe would mean building and maintaining a fully custom booking engine on top of our apis which goes beyond the pattern we support for properties today for now the supported options are the standard booking engine standalone or widget or a larger custom integration using our connector api with deep links into the mews booking engine to address your 5 questions specifically is the booking engine api the correct api for this the booking engine distributor api is what you d use if you want to build a fully custom booking front end on top of mews it is not designed as a simple price calendar api that you plug on top of the existing booking engine it s essentially a build your own booking engine toolkit more details https docs mews com booking engine guide booking engine api can we retrieve daily per date pricing for a calendar the api can return availability and prices for given dates and occupancies but there is no dedicated endpoint that returns a ready made price per day calendar to populate a full calendar you d have to make many calls and compute per day prices yourself which quickly becomes heavy for longer ranges and is not recommended what limitations best practices rate limits caching should we be aware of the booking engine api has stricter rate limits than the connector api and is intended for interactive guest flows not high frequency polling from a single backend if used you d need to keep the searched date range small e g a few weeks not a full year implement server side caching and avoid calling the api on every small ui change avoid patterns like one request per cell per day which will hit rate limits very quickly does this require a specific subscription level yes access to the booking engine api is available only for properties on the enterprise bundle or with the relevant connectivity add on it is not available on essentials advanced pro without that entitlement are there recommended endpoints for this type of use case if you do go down the booking engine api route with the right subscription and development resources you d typically use distributor api operations such as configuration get for configuration details services categories etc services getavailability for availability over a date range services getpricing or reservations getpricing for prices for specific dates occupancies these would then need to be combined and cached on your side to drive any custom calendar ui i hope to have clarified this further for you i remain at your disposal best regards booking engine api 1 person likes this like share 4 replies oldest first newest first best voted 2 mattjones forum forum 1 month ago april 14 2026 booking engine api is probably not best here to answer the queries as numbered no the connector api will be better as this allows a call of rates getpricing and services getavailability which give daily breakdowns the be api gives just one rate to cover whole period as a total yes using connector api though as above if using be api instead of connector there is high probability of hitting rate limits as you would need to one call per day enterprise is needed for a custom api using any service unless you publish in marketplace the be api is only available to enterprise as above for connector endpoints mews connector api connector api mews open api source for above endpoints etc whilst you can develop yourself the considerations above may mean looking at another option such as linking via a different be service entirely but that s your choice hope this helps matt director of revenue and technology chief tech nerd at www effectivehospitality co uk like g gerchou author community newcomer forum forum 1 month ago april 14 2026
