Using Oracle Hospitality REST APIs for CRS Integrations
When integrating a Central Reservation System (CRS) with OPERA Cloud, Oracle Hospitality REST APIs provide essential capabilities for retrieving and aligning property data. Based on your integration needs, you can leverage our Property APIs. The Property APIs in OHIP enable the retrieval of key property configuration data from OPERA Cloud. These APIs provide access to information such as room types, rate plans, market codes, and source codes—ensuring the CRS is aligned with the property's setup. Accurate property data supports seamless reservation creation, rate updates, and availability checks.
Using Business Events for CRS Integrations
Business Events - A business event is an event (that is, an update) that happens to a resource, for example, a reservation. You can find more detailed implementation guidelines on using the business events in the Business Events topic in the OHIP User Guide.
