This section describes the Channel Manager side of the Mews Channel Manager API, i.e. API Operations hosted by the Channel Manager. The Channel Manager side receives requests from Mews, including inventory updates (prices, availability and restrictions) and booking confirmations. The list of supported operations is as follows, organised here by theme.
Mews pushes inventory to the Channel Manager side in one of two modes, both using the same API Operations, either Full Inventory Update Mode or Delta Inventory Update Mode. For more information, see Use cases > Inventory updates.
