ROVER CONNECT
Rover Connect connects a great variety of apps – from Point of Sale to Revenue Management Systems or Door Locking Solutions. Any vendors of systems and devices that match the functionality of Rover PMS are welcome to develop interfaces to the Rover Connect data. Typically, we try to return as much data as possible in our GET /Reservations calls so that there is no need for multiple calls to be made.
We also provide several webhooks to allow you to pull only the data you need versus constant poling to gather data. And, it’s all free – we do not charge any setup fees!
AVAILABLE APIs
Here you can find our current available APIs. We are continuously working on adding new APIs so please feel free to check the above link for any future additions.
WEBHOOKS
Guidelines
Webhooks allows you to receive real-time HTTP notifications of changes to specific objects in the Rover Connect. For example, we could send you a notification when any of your reservations change their date range for your Hotel Chain.
Objects, Fields and Values
There are many types of events in Rover Connect, such as Reservation or Group events, so whenever you configure a Webhook you must first choose an event type. Whenever there’s a change to the value of any object field you have subscribed to, we will send you a notification. Notifications are sent to as HTTP POST requests and contain a JSON payload that describes the change.
As an example, a Webhook that is set up and subscribed to a ‘create_reservation’ event. If a new reservation is made, we would send a notification that would look like this:
{
"created_at": "2018-10-15T19:11:40.622Z",
"event": "create_reservation",
"id": 2739,
