It’s a booking and floor plan management app which mainly handles online bookings. Would be good if it’s possible to integrate with samba reservation so the online reservations automatically show up in samba. I had a look and tableIn make their API available so should be possible?
Is it something members can do or does it have to be done ‘officially’ by samba devs?
What kind of api do they use.
I didn’t know there were specific types I’ll have to get in touch with them about it
There are, it would more casually refer to either the code/exchange format but there are higher level definitions. Most typical are rest API with JSON for data transfer but XML is also common and other formats are also used sometimes.
There are also different methods and combinations for security.
To even begin you would need good documentation ideally with sample requests.
Using v5 and a good API you can do yourself without samba/dev.
Good examples of an API intergration would be my NewBook PMS setup or the timetrex time clock setup.
You would be slightly limited to request from samba style setup without higher level development but this is only a hurdle for most senarios and not a wall that stops you. It would likely just effect your methods.
