# Overview

The Distribution Partner API is a single REST contract for distributing inventory. One integration covers the whole lifecycle for every property type — hotels, vacation rentals, villas, and apartments — with no per-property-type branching:

```
content  →  search  →  prebook  →  book  →  (poll)  →  cancel
```

* **Content** — ingest and cache property catalogue: descriptions, photos, room types, geo, policies. Delta-synced.
* **Search** — real-time availability, rates, and bundled multi-room allocations for requested dates and occupancy.
* **Prebook** — revalidate a chosen rate and lock its price + cancellation policy behind a short-lived token.
* **Book** — finalize the reservation idempotently.
* **Cancel** — quote the penalty, then cancel.

## Base URL

```
https://ari.console.adrasis.com/api/v1
```

All field names are `snake_case`, all dates are ISO 8601, all currencies are ISO 4217, and every resource is addressed by its opaque `public_id`.

## Where to start
