Steps
Authenticate with HMAC (or legacy Api-Key while still active) as used for the reservations API.
Pull the current baseline with GET on the rates endpoint (apartments[], start_date, end_date) before pushing changes.
Build one or more operations objects for POST to the rates endpoint, each with a dates array (single dates or start:end ranges) plus daily_price and/or min_length_of_stay, grouped under an apartments[] array.
Submit the POST and confirm a {"success": true} response; always include a price whenever you set min_length_of_stay.
Track the X-RateLimit-* response headers and back off before hitting Smoobu's 1000-requests-per-minute cap (HTTP 429 when exceeded).
Known gotchas
Sending only min_length_of_stay without a price fails with an HTTP 500 "Price is required" error — every rate operation needs a price value.
Date ranges use a compact "YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD" colon syntax inside the dates array rather than separate start/end fields; malformed ranges fail silently.
Because Smoobu redistributes rates to connected OTAs, a bad bulk push propagates incorrect pricing outward on the channel's normal sync cadence — validate diffs before pushing at scale.
