  1. The new reservations/getAll endpoint & the new bills/getAll endpoint both use a new AccountId(s) field. This field can contain a customer or a company.

    In the case of the reservation AccountIds field, we would possibly need to do two requests per AccountId to fetch the required information.

    It would be a lot easier if there was an accounts/getAll endpoint where we could fetch the information with just a single request.

  2. Problem description:

    When we are getting a 403 Forbidden response, we only have the error message to go on about what the actual issue is. This can be an invalid rate plan or Mews being busy for a minute.

    As documented (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/guidelines/responses#response-codes), these error messages are translated in the client language, so these can be displayed to the end user.

    For example the 403 Forbidden response on /rates/updatePrice can be this:

    {
    "Message": "Une autre opération est en cours. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques secondes.",
    "DebugDetails": null,
    "Details": null
    }

    This message contains no machine readable information about the…

  3. In the MEWS interface you can see the Reason for State of a resource. However this isn't available in the API. Could this be added?

  4. Both services/getAvailability and rates/getPricing support one single ServiceId parameter.
    Extending them to support multiple ServiceIds would lower number of API calls and help to minimize 429 error. Too many requests, when the limits are "used"

  5. When we use the endpoint /api/connector/v1/reservations/price (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/reservations#price-reservations) the output does not contains the full details but only the taxes.

    It would be nice to be able to retrieve the details of which rules/products have been applied and the amount associated, directly in the output.

    For example, if a hotel apply resort fees using the rule system, retrieving only taxes and total amont is not enough to display the full details of the calculation. Currently to display it we need to fetch all rules and manually check if rule should be applied or not. And do a "revert engineering"…

  6. It would be great to have a API call that allows, changing of status of a tasks or at least to close a task.
    when using tasks for automations having a status that could be change in the API would make the process much more reliable.

  7. We use Event Temple for everything Event related however charge clients through Mews. We have an issue where when posting charges from Event Temple to Mews, Mews will only read whole numbers. E.g we may charge an hourly fee for technical assistance of $40/hr. If the client needs 90 minutes of assistance we need to charge for 1.5 hours however Mews will only see either 1 or 2 hours and ignore anything past the decimal point.

  10. Here is an example error message I received, containing GDPR data. This makes it so we can't just log the data.

    {
    "Message": "Assigned space is not available for check-in. Please assign an inspected space and try again. (XXXX, YYYYYY; BBBBBBBB (1111111111111, John Doe, 6/12/2023 - 6/19/2023, 417))",
    "Details": null
    }

    I suggest moving the GDPR data to the (apparently) unused "Details" field, or create a new field to store that data. Or maybe make a "GdprSafeMessage" field.

  12. When requesting Resources with "ResourceCategoryImageAssignments" extent enabled, images are returned with order based on the created/updated time (oldest first, newest last).

    That means it ignores the image order set in Mews Operations "Space Categories" UI.

    JSON should return the Image Assignments based on this order OR should return a property named "order" with order integer as value.

  15. Currently, an integration partner that uses group block data (such as Revenue Management Systems, Event Management Systems, Central Reservation Systems, etc.) needs to poll "availabilityBlocks/getAll" at a scheduled interval and are not able to sync availability blocks in real time.
    In order such integration partners to follow the best practices (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/guidelines/best-practices), they need the general webhooks expanded with new availability block-based events notifying the partners when:
    - an availability block has been created
    - an availability block has been updated
    - an availability block has been deleted
    - an availability block's service availability has changed

  16. Hi, we are having some problems generating a Dotnet (6) client from the Connector API specification in Visual Studio 17.4.0 on Windows 10.

    The root cause seem to be that languages like C# (.NET), Java, and go, do not support "discriminated unions".

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new Dotnet (6) project in Visual Studio
    2. Open “Connected Services”
    3. Add the Connector Open API specification
    4. Build the project

  18. For the analysis and planning, it is important to know which travel purpose the block can be arranged. Is it a leisure group or a business group? For this it would be important to arrange the block to a segment. This segment must be able to be transferred to e.g. Fairmas.

    Hello from the Mews product team,


    Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.


    Remember you can share a link to your request so that your colleagues can also upvote your suggestion.

  19. Currently, block reservations are not transferred to other systems. Systems such as Fairmas or RMS cannot see the blocks until a list of names is entered and the actual reservation number for each single reservation is generated by MEWS. This distorts P/U and open pricing. The problem could be solved by also giving a block a reservation number.

  20. Hi,

    It would be great if Mews provide createdby/updatedby or some boolean identifiers to identify the source of action.

    Usecase : Customer creation/update : External API consumers sends customer (loyalty members) profile updates to mews via API calls, Mews in turn sends Webhook events whenever customer updates happens via API calls or Manual updates. As we seek to maintain the synchronisation of customer profiles in both Mews and CRM system, the update events goes to infinite loop if we don't stop using an identifier. for example, Customer profile is updated in CRM then CRM triggers an updated event, this results…
