Steps
Generate an AccessKey/SecretKey API key pair in the Rentals United dashboard, since new integrations must use key-based auth rather than legacy username/password.
Push property/listing content with a property-push XML request, and push availability or rates with the corresponding availability-push XML requests, posting to the API handler endpoint over HTTP.
Pull confirmed reservations with the reservations-list XML request, avoiding concurrent calls to this specific method since the API does not allow them.
For guest messaging, switch to the separate REST/JSON Guest Communication API, which uses a different auth and transport than the legacy XML endpoints.
Respect the global concurrency limit across all API calls.
Known gotchas
The core distribution API is still XML-over-HTTP-POST, not REST/JSON - do not assume a modern REST surface for property, availability, or reservation operations.
Existing username/password credentials must be migrated to AccessKey/SecretKey auth, and the migration is irreversible once completed.
A global concurrency limit (roughly 20 simultaneous calls) applies across the account, and the reservations-list method specifically disallows concurrent requests.
