Official API

Does Little Hotelier have an official API?

Little Hotelier has no API for its own customers (checked 11 Oct 2026). SiteMinder APIs need a partnership agreement with SiteMinder's Ecosystem team and are listed for PMS, channel, app and booking-engine vendors, so a property cannot get a key to read its reservations or change rates from a script.

Common use cases

What can an AI agent do in Little Hotelier?

Cotlet is best for small hotel, B&B and guesthouse owners who want an AI agent to check arrivals, change rates and restrictions, close rooms and answer guests without running or fixing a server.

  • Check today's arrivals and unpaid balances Runs: Daily

    Who checks in today and tomorrow, which room do they have, and which bookings still owe money? Your agent calls list_reservations and get_reservation.

  • Update hotel rates for a date range

    Raise the Double Room rate to 140 and the Twin to 130 for every Friday and Saturday in December, and show me what each night was before. Your agent calls list_room_rates, get_inventory and update_rates.

  • Set minimum stay and closed-to-arrival

    Set a 2-night minimum stay for arrivals on 30 and 31 Dec, close arrivals on 1 Jan, and warn me about nights that would be left empty. Your agent calls get_inventory, list_reservations, list_room_rates and update_restrictions.

  • Close a room for maintenance

    Room 4 has a leak: close it from tomorrow for a week. Your agent calls list_room_rates and create_room_closure.

  • Report occupancy, ADR and RevPAR Runs: Weekly

    What was our occupancy, ADR and RevPAR last month, and which channel brought the most revenue? Your agent calls get_statistics and get_booking_performance.

  • Reply to guest messages Runs: Daily

    Answer guest questions in the Messaging hub about late check-in, parking and breakfast using our house rules, and send me anything else. Your agent calls list_conversations, get_reservation and reply_to_guest.

Endpoints

What is the Little Hotelier API?

Cotlet's Little Hotelier API exposes 15 endpoints for your own Little Hotelier account: list reservations, get reservation, list room rates, get inventory, get statistics, get booking performance, export report, list conversations, create reservation, update reservation status, cancel reservation, update rates, update restrictions, create room closure and reply to guest. The list_reservations endpoint returns reservations with status, source, guest, occupants, dates, room, total and outstanding amount. Each endpoint takes simple JSON inputs like from, to or reservation_id and works both as an MCP tool for agents and as a REST call for scripts.

    list_room_rates

    read

    Returns your room types with their rooms and room rates. Each rate says whether it is derived from another rate, because derived rates cannot be edited directly. Use the IDs it returns in get_inventory, update_rates, update_restrictions and create_room_closure.

    Runs the Front Desk Statistics report for a date range. It returns total, closed, occupied and unoccupied room nights, occupancy, length of stay, lead time, average revenue per booking, ADR, RevPAR and the value of cancelled reservations. Occupancy, RevPAR and the room night counts exist only when searching by stay date. Closed room nights are taken out of the occupancy base.

    get_booking_performance

    read

    Reads the Insights Booking performance report. It returns reservations after cancellations, room nights, ADR, average length of stay, lead time and cancelled reservations, with room revenue and room nights per channel, including your booking engine. Some channels record no revenue on a reservation: those count toward room nights but not ADR. Multi-currency bookings are converted to your default currency.

    create_reservation

    write

    Creates a Front Desk reservation with a booking reference starting with LH. It holds the room and updates availability on your connected channels. Without room_id the booking is unallocated but still reduces availability. Little Hotelier does not email a confirmation for manual reservations, and neither does this tool. Card details are not accepted. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/create_reservation

    Input

    Input: create_reservation
    Parameter Type Description
    check_in required date Arrival date.
    check_out required date Departure date.
    room_rate_id required string Room rate ID from list_room_rates.
    guest required object first_name, last_name, and optional email, phone, arrival_time.
    adults required integer Number of adults.
    children integer Number of children. Default: 0.
    room_id string Assign a specific room. Default: unallocated.
    guest_comments string Guest requests, shown on the confirmation email.

      "total": "240.00",
      "currency": "EUR"
    }
  • POST

    update_reservation_status

    write

    Sets a reservation to confirmed, checked_in or checked_out, like the status drop-down on the reservation. Checking out marks the room as needing cleaning and bookable again. It reaches no guest and one more call sets the status back, so it runs without asking first. Each reservation is changed on its own.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/update_reservation_status

    Input

    Input: update_reservation_status
    Parameter Type Description
    reservation_id required string Reservation ID from list_reservations, e.g. LH12345.
    status required enum confirmed, checked_in or checked_out.

    Example response

    {
      "reservation_id": "LH48213",
      "status": "checked_in"
    }
  • POST

    cancel_reservation

    write

    Cancels one Confirmed reservation created in Front Desk. Channel (OTA) reservations are cancelled by the guest on the channel, and Direct Booking reservations under Direct Booking, so the call fails for them. Checked-in and checked-out reservations need their status changed first. A cancellation is permanent. The room becomes available and cancelled reservations stay in the Reservations list. Check your cancellation policy for penalties first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/cancel_reservation

    Input

    Input: cancel_reservation
    Parameter Type Description
    reservation_id required string Reservation ID from list_reservations, e.g. LH12345.

    Example response

    {
      "reservation_id": "LH48311",
      "status": "cancelled"
    }
  • POST

    update_rates

    write

    Sets the base rate of one or more room rates over a date range, optionally on chosen weekdays, like Bulk Update in the inventory grid. Derived rates cannot be edited and come back in skipped. A rate below the property minimum does not save. Channels receive the change within their update period. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/update_rates

    Input

    Input: update_rates
    Parameter Type Description
    room_rate_ids required string[] Room rate IDs from list_room_rates.
    from required date First date of the range.
    to required date Last date of the range, inclusive.
    rate required string New nightly rate, as a decimal in the property currency.
    days_of_week string[] Only these weekdays (mon to sun). Default: all days.

    Example response

    {
      "status": "updated",
      "room_rates": 1,
      "dates": 8,
      "rate": "140.00",
      "currency": "EUR",
      "skipped": []
    }
  • POST

    update_restrictions

    write

    Sets min_stay, max_stay, cta, ctd, close_channels and close_website for room rates over a date range, like Bulk Update. close_channels stops sales on all connected channels and your booking engine but leaves room availability unchanged. A channel that does not support a restriction ignores it. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/update_restrictions

    Input

    Input: update_restrictions
    Parameter Type Description
    room_rate_ids required string[] Room rate IDs from list_room_rates.
    from required date First date of the range.
    to required date Last date of the range, inclusive.
    restrictions required object Any of min_stay, max_stay (integer), cta, ctd, close_channels, close_website (boolean).
    days_of_week string[] Only these weekdays (mon to sun). Default: all days.

  • POST

    create_room_closure

    write

    Closes rooms or whole room types for a date range, like Room Closure on the Front Desk Calendar. The end date is included. Availability sent to channels and your booking engine drops, and the room shows in red on the Calendar. A closure is not a stop sell. It does not move guests who already booked those dates. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/create_room_closure

    Input

    Input: create_room_closure
    Parameter Type Description
    room_ids required string[] Room IDs from list_room_rates.
    from required date First date of the range.

    reply_to_guest

    write

    Sends a reply in a WhatsApp or Airbnb conversation in the Messaging hub, under your property. WhatsApp free-form replies work within 24 hours of the guest's last message; later, Little Hotelier requires a template. Airbnb free-form replies work only after a scheduled message went out and the guest replied. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

    POST /api/v1/little-hotelier/reply_to_guest

    Input

    Input: reply_to_guest
    Parameter Type Description
    conversation_id required string Conversation ID from list_conversations.
    body required string Message text.

    }

Setup

How do I connect Little Hotelier to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor?

Connecting Little Hotelier takes three steps: request access, sign in to Little Hotelier once, then add one MCP server or call the REST API with the same key.

Connect Little Hotelier over MCP

  1. 1

    Create an account

    Sign up and add Little Hotelier in the console. Your API key is there too.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Little Hotelier once

    Open the connect page from the console and sign in to Little Hotelier the way you always do. We keep the session, never your password, and you can revoke it anytime.

  3. 3

    Add Cotlet to your agent

    Claude Code
    claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
      https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
    Cursor
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "cotlet": {
          "url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    Codex
    # ~/.codex/config.toml
    [mcp_servers.cotlet]
    url = "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1"
    bearer_token_env_var = "COTLET_API_KEY"

    Paste the snippet for your client. The same server and key serve every app you connect, so you do this once.

  4. 4

    Ask your agent

    Prompt

    Who checks in today and tomorrow, which room do they have, and which bookings still owe money?

    Ask in plain words. Your agent finds the Little Hotelier tools on the server and calls them for you; anything that reaches other people waits for your OK unless you switch that off for a tool.

Call Little Hotelier over REST

  1. 1

    Export your API key

    Shell

    export COTLET_API_KEY="cotlet_..."

    Your scripts use the same API key as your agent. Keep it in an environment variable, never in your code.

  2. 2

    Call a tool

    curl

    curl https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/little-hotelier/update_rates \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"room_rate_ids":["rr_20417"],"from":"2026-12-01","to":"2026-12-31","rate":"140.00","days_of_week":["fri","sat"]}'

    Every tool is a POST endpoint at /api/v1/little-hotelier/{tool}. Send its parameters as JSON, exactly as listed in the endpoints above.

  3. 3

    Read the result

    Example response · update_rates

    {
      "status": "updated",
      "room_rates": 1,
      "dates": 8,
      "rate": "140.00",
      "currency": "EUR",
      "skipped": []
    }

    You get plain JSON back, ready for your script. A failed call costs nothing.

We found no Little Hotelier MCP server on GitHub and no Little Hotelier app on Zapier (checked 11 Oct 2026). Owners use the inventory grid, Bulk Update and CSV exports by hand.

little-hotelier.txt

Little Hotelier has no API for its own customers (checked 11 Oct 2026). SiteMinder APIs need a partnership agreement with SiteMinder's Ecosystem team and are listed for PMS, channel, app and booking-engine vendors, so a property cannot get a key to read its reservations or change rates from a script.
Cotlet provides a hosted MCP server and REST API for Little Hotelier: 15 tools (8 read, 7 write).
Access       Request access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=little-hotelier; we email the API key.

MCP server   https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1
REST base    https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/little-hotelier
Auth         Authorization: Bearer <COTLET_API_KEY>. Listing endpoints and schemas needs no key; calling an endpoint needs one.
Tools        list_reservations, get_reservation, list_room_rates, get_inventory, get_statistics, get_booking_performance, export_report, list_conversations, create_reservation, update_reservation_status, cancel_reservation, update_rates, update_restrictions, create_room_closure, reply_to_guest
Confirm      create_reservation, cancel_reservation, update_rates, update_restrictions, create_room_closure, reply_to_guest (by default the user approves each call; the user can switch this off per tool, e.g. for scheduled automations)
Markdown     https://cotlet.dev/integrations/little-hotelier-api-mcp-server.md

How access works:
1. The user requests access at https://cotlet.dev/app/signup?app=little-hotelier (Little Hotelier is pre-selected). Each request is reviewed and the API key is sent by email.
2. The user signs in to Little Hotelier once in a browser. An agent cannot do this step.
3. The API key goes into the MCP client or the REST call as a bearer token.

Fits: people who want a hosted Little Hotelier server that someone else maintains, including non-developers.

Policy: Cotlet never stores passwords, never solves CAPTCHAs, never bypasses MFA.
Company: legal details in the Terms of service at https://cotlet.dev/terms. Contact contact@cotlet.dev.
Session: the user signs in to Little Hotelier in a browser; Cotlet keeps only the session, AES-256 encrypted, revocable in the dashboard at any time.
Terms: the user stays responsible for following Little Hotelier's terms; Cotlet is not affiliated with Little Hotelier.

Automations

Can Little Hotelier automations run on a schedule in n8n, Make or Zapier?

Yes. Cotlet does not replace your automation platform: it gives it a Little Hotelier connection it does not have, with the same API key as your agent. Write actions ask for your OK by default; switch that off in your dashboard for the tools you choose, for example to check today's arrivals and unpaid balances, and the schedule runs on its own. Cotlet runs in the cloud, so it keeps going while your computer is off.

Where to run Little Hotelier automations through Cotlet, and how to schedule them
Where How to connect How to schedule
Your AI agent Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with your API key. A scheduled agent run, for example a Claude Code routine.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get access?

Request access and pick Little Hotelier. Cotlet reviews each request and emails you your API key.

Do I need to be technical?

No. You sign in to Little Hotelier once in your browser and paste one command into your agent, or one URL into n8n. Your agent can walk you through it. There is no server to install, update or fix.

Is a hosted server safe? My Little Hotelier session would leave my computer.

Cotlet keeps your Little Hotelier session encrypted with AES-256 in an EU vault, isolated to your account and used only for the tools you allow: read only, or read and write. The AI model never sees it, and you revoke it in one click. A local server keeps the same session in a file on your computer, readable by any program you run, and needs a fresh sign-in whenever it expires.

Do I need a partner agreement with SiteMinder?

No. Cotlet works in your own Little Hotelier account. SiteMinder's APIs require a partnership agreement with its Ecosystem team (checked 11 Oct 2026) and are not offered to individual properties.

Can my agent cancel Booking.com or Airbnb reservations?

No. Little Hotelier only lets staff cancel reservations created in Front Desk; channel reservations are cancelled by the guest on the channel. cancel_reservation fails for them.

Can my agent post or send messages in Little Hotelier without asking me?

No. Every call to create_reservation, cancel_reservation, update_rates, update_restrictions, create_room_closure or reply_to_guest waits for your OK by default. For scheduled automations you can switch confirmation off per tool in your dashboard, for example only for approvals. update_reservation_status runs without asking, because it sends nothing to anyone and one call undoes it.

Can I use the Little Hotelier API in n8n?

Yes. Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 with your API key in n8n's MCP Client node, or call https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/little-hotelier/{tool} from the HTTP Request node.
