Apply to Airbnb's software partner program; Airbnb does not offer a public API, so access requires completing a data security review and meeting integration, technical, and performance standards
Once approved, implement OAuth 2.0 to authenticate on behalf of host accounts, obtaining authorization to manage listings, calendars, pricing, and reservations
Ensure all personnel accessing the API use multi-factor authentication and that administrative access is limited to job functions requiring it
Sync calendar availability and pricing using the Calendar and Pricing APIs provided to approved partners to prevent double-bookings across channels
Push reservation data received from Airbnb into the connected PMS and return confirmation to Airbnb to complete the booking handshake
Monitor for API deprecation notices in the partner portal as Airbnb periodically changes API surface and endpoint versions
Known gotchas
Airbnb's API is not publicly accessible; attempting to scrape or use unofficial endpoints violates the terms of service and leads to account suspension
Only Preferred Software Partners who pass Airbnb's annual compliance review retain full API access; partners that fail performance reviews may have access restricted
OAuth tokens are scoped per host account; a property manager with multiple host accounts must obtain separate authorization from each account rather than using a single token
