Where do I find my account ID for Vrbo API? I cannot find it listed anywhere in my owner rez profile.

It's under Settings > API Integrations > select the Vrbo entry. If you don't already have your Vrbo API configured in there, you aren't ready to do the connection yet.

It's the IP address when you go to settings/ API/ (Go to the web site you want to list with) in the address bar is the IP address or what they are calling OwnerRez ID

No, that's not correct - an OwnerRez ID is not an IP address at all.  It looks like this:

So WHERE do we actually find our account ID?

You'd go to Settings>API>Vrbo and look near the top of the page. The format will be similar to what Ken shows above.

Hi Tom:

You'd want to be sure to start by setting up the channel here:

https://app.ownerrez.com/settings/channels

Once you create that channel and save it, that ID number will show.

Generally a client will set up the Vrbo starting in OwnerRez. if you initiated your inside Vrbo & they are asking for an ID number, you need to be sure to also setup the matching Vrbo channel in OwnerRez.

A caveat: Once you API connect, OwnerRez will overwrite most content on the channels. Be sure you are happy with your property setup, calendar, rates, etc. Take a walk through the setup checklist here to check your setup:

Adria,

I can't setup in OwnerRez because you need the iCal in order to do so.....VRBO does not produce an iCal when using a channel manager.

If I can't get this done, then I have no choice but go back to the previous channel manager. My properties aren't being seen, and I have a hanging double booking possibility because someone booked on Airbnb and I have no way to update VRBO until I get migrated over to OwnerRez.
