Steps
Apply for Nuki Advanced API access, describing the PMS or short-term-rental integration use case
Once approved, authenticate API calls with a bearer token as required by the Nuki Web API
Use the Short Rental API to create time-boxed guest access tied to a reservation's check-in and check-out dates
Subscribe to webhooks for lock and access events, which require Advanced API access rather than the base Web API
Ensure target Smart Locks/Openers are connected via a Nuki Bridge or built-in Wi-Fi so remote commands can reach the device
Known gotchas
Webhooks and OAuth2 client application support are gated behind Advanced API approval; the base Nuki Web API alone does not provide these
Advanced API applications go through a manual approval process that can leave an integration pending for some time before access is granted
A Smart Lock with no Bridge and no built-in Wi-Fi connectivity cannot receive remote commands at all, so guest-access automation depends on the physical connectivity setup at the property, not just the API integration
