Action: Pricelabs - Give us API Access

Module 15: WTP Advanced Optimisation and Revenue Management Service

In short

A PriceLabs API key is a secure permission that lets an outside system read your pricing data directly from PriceLabs instead of guessing it. It can be created early, but it only produces useful data once your Airbnb listing is live, your manager has access and PriceLabs is actively pricing. The key should be treated like a password, and regenerating it can quietly break existing connections.

Questions people ask

What is a PriceLabs API key?

It is a unique key that authorises another system to access your PriceLabs data, such as pricing and listing information, through the PriceLabs API.

Why is my PriceLabs API connection showing no data?

If the listing is not live or PriceLabs is not yet pricing it, there is little data to share. A regenerated key can also stop an existing connection working.

Does PriceLabs charge for API access?

API access is a formal PriceLabs feature and may carry an additional cost, so check your PriceLabs plan.
