Steps
Get onboarded as a Rentals United API partner (PMS partner or property manager) and obtain XML API access through their developer documentation portal.
Understand the push/pull terminology: "push" calls send content, availability, and price data from your system into Rentals United; "pull" calls retrieve data (like bookings) from it.
Push availability changes using the documented availability-update call pattern, and push price/content updates similarly, batching by property and date range rather than per single date.
Implement pull-side handling for bookings that arrive back from connected OTAs, since reservations flow from the channel through Rentals United into your system.
Validate the acknowledgment/response of every push before assuming it propagated, since a failed push leaves stale availability live across every connected distribution channel.
Known gotchas
Push (you send data in) versus pull (you retrieve data out) is core Rentals United terminology — mixing these up is a common early integration mistake.
Rentals United acts as a channel-manager-of-channel-managers distributing to 90+ connected sales channels, so a single bad push can propagate errors to many downstream OTAs at once.
Exact request/response schema details require access to Rentals United's gated partner developer portal — confirm current field names there rather than relying on older cached API specification documents, since the API has evolved across versions.
