What the RateHawk API brings to your booking site

RateHawk is a B2B-only hotel distribution platform built by Emerging Travel Group. Rather than contracting every property itself, RateHawk aggregates inventory from 200+ hotel suppliers, wholesalers, and DMCs into a single feed — giving your site access to millions of hotels, apartments, and other stays across 220+ countries through one connection.

Every account on this builder brings its own RateHawk API key, so search traffic, booking volume, and API usage are entirely yours — nothing is pooled or shared with other sites on the platform. Don't have RateHawk credentials yet? Get one here, then come back and connect it from your signup flow.

Why build your booking site on RateHawk

01

Net rate pricing

RateHawk works on a net rate model — no commission split, no post-stay settlement. You pay the net rate at booking and add your own markup, so you keep full control of your margin.

02

Wide, aggregated inventory

Because RateHawk pulls from 200+ suppliers, OTAs, and wholesalers, your site can surface a broad set of hotels and rate options without you having to negotiate individual hotel contracts.

03

Fast onboarding

RateHawk's B2B signup and API credentialing is built for speed compared to legacy GDS-style suppliers, so you can go from account creation to live search results quickly.

04

Built-in support

Multilingual partner support and a pre-check process on bookings mean you're not troubleshooting hotel availability issues alone once your site is live.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RateHawk API?

RateHawk is a B2B-only hotel booking platform from Emerging Travel Group. Its API gives travel businesses programmatic access to hotels, apartments, and other stays aggregated from a large network of global suppliers, along with live pricing, availability, and booking confirmation. Read more directly on ratehawk.com.

Do I need my own RateHawk account?

Yes. You register your own RateHawk B2B account, generate an API key and secret, and connect them in your dashboard here. Don't have an API key? Get one here. Every search and booking on your site runs through your own account, not a shared one.

How does markup and pricing work?

RateHawk uses a net rate model: you pay the net rate at booking and set your own markup on top of it, keeping the difference as your margin. You control that markup percentage from your dashboard at any time.

How fast can I launch my booking site?

Most accounts are live within a few minutes — sign up, choose a subdomain, connect a RateHawk API key, and set a markup and brand color. See the full walkthrough in how it works.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The platform handles the search interface, booking flow, and hosting for you. You just need a RateHawk account and your branding assets.

Your booking site could be live tonight.

No developers, no waiting, no shared infrastructure. Just your brand, your RateHawk rates, your guests.
