What is the lastminute.com hotel API?

The lastminute.com Affiliate API is lastminute.com's programmatic interface for searching, pricing, and booking hotel inventory. It returns static content, live rates, and availability for its full catalog of properties.

How does Vervotech integrate with lastminute.com?

Vervotech ingests lastminute.com on a daily refresh, normalizes the schema, and maps every property to canonical hotel IDs that match all your other suppliers. You hit one REST endpoint instead of integrating lastminute.com directly.

How long does a lastminute.com integration take through Vervotech?

Most customers are live in days, not weeks. There is no XML mapping work and no per-supplier ID reconciliation, because Vervotech already maintains the canonical schema across 400+ suppliers.

Does the lastminute.com XML API expose all inventory that the REST API returns?

Vervotech reads directly from lastminute.com's primary API feed, so you get the same static content, live rates, availability, and booking capabilities you would get integrating the lastminute.com XML natively. The difference is you consume it as REST JSON, and the same request pattern works across every other supplier in your stack.

What happens if the lastminute.com XML schema changes?

Vervotech absorbs the schema change on our side. Your integration keeps working. Our team maintains the schema-to-canonical mapping continuously, which is the single largest hidden cost in every in-house XML API integration.

Can I rate-shop lastminute.com against other suppliers?

Yes. Because lastminute.com properties share canonical IDs with every other supplier in Vervotech, you can compare rates, route bookings to the best margin, and rebook automatically when prices drop with Profit Maximizer.

How much does it cost?

Hotel Mapping starts at $499 a month with a 7-day free trial. Package discounts run up to 50% off when you bundle multiple suppliers.

Expose. One REST endpoint returns the merged, deduplicated inventory ready for booking.

lastminute.com XML API, translated to REST

Most legacy hotel supplier APIs, including lastminute.com, expose XML over SOAP or plain HTTPS POST. Every field is nested inside supplier-specific elements, dates are in supplier-specific formats, and rate rules are buried inside repeating groups you have to unwind before you can even read them.

Vervotech reads the lastminute.com XML directly, parses the schema, normalizes fields to a canonical JSON model, and exposes the result as a single REST endpoint. You never touch the XML. If the lastminute.com schema changes, we absorb the change on our side without breaking your integration.

No SOAP envelopes, no XML namespaces, no XSD parsing on your side
Canonical hotel and room IDs across every supplier you connect
Currency, language, and date fields already unified
Rate rules, cancellation policies, and inclusions flattened into readable JSON
