VRBO API and property management.

I'm running several properties in the UK and need to connect a couple up to VRBO and create new accounts for them.

I just wanted to ask how the API is organised?

For example for each property I have one Airbnb it shows a different API which is registered to the user.

For Booking.com I have one API which is showing as mine which has multiple properties in it when i drill down.

As I've currently only got one user who uses VRBO (its not a big thing over here). I'm not sure if a new link under the owners name will be created or a new link under my name?

Can anyone who has multiple owners with multiple properties on VRBO please let me know?

Thanks

Oh and as an aside do you need a VAT number to register on the API with VRBO and if you don't have one (most UK cottage owners don't) can we still connect to them by iCal or is that governed by their minimum number of properties thing?

This can be a complicated question, and we'd be glad to discuss in more detail via a Helpdesk question, but, the short answer is: for both Airbnb and Vrbo, you need to establish a separate connection in OwnerRez for each separate Airbnb and Vrbo account.

Now, how you choose to divide things up is up to you.  Some PMs choose to have each of their owners in separate Airbnb/Vrbo accounts.  Others prefer to have all the properties, even with different owners, in one giant Airbnb and Vrbo accounts.

Once you have an established API connection to an Airbnb or Vrbo account, you can push a new property listing up into Airbnb/Vrbo via that API connection from OwnerRez.  But, that will create the new property listing inside of the existing Airbnb/Vrbo account, which may or may not be what you want.

Thanks Ken!
