Steps
sign up for a checkfront account with an active subscription and set up API authentication (OAuth2, per Connecting to the API) under Manage > Developer
call GET /api/3.0/item with no dates to list enabled items in inventory (unrated response, no pricing/availability)
call GET /api/3.0/item/{item_id} with start_date/end_date (and optional param[...] booking-parameter values like param[adults]=2) to get a 'rated' response containing pricing, stock/availability, and an item SLIP
call GET /api/3.0/item/{item_id}/cal or GET /api/3.0/item/cal with start_date/end_date to retrieve calendar availability for one or more items
use the SLIP obtained from the rated item query to add the item to a booking session, then call booking/create (POST) to create the booking
call GET /api/3.0/booking/index to list/filter existing bookings by status_id, customer_id, start_date, or last_modified
Known gotchas
the item SLIP is an opaque, encoded string that checkfront explicitly warns not to reverse-engineer or reuse — it must be freshly obtained from a rated API call each time since its format can change
full API access requires an active checkfront subscription, and some functionality may be restricted depending on your plan/access level
exceeding checkfront's API rate limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header specifying the wait time before retrying
