What Vervotech does for Methabook

• Canonical hotel IDs. Each Methabook property resolves to a single Vervotech hotel ID shared with every other connected supplier.
• Room-level mapping. Identical room types from Methabook collapse with peer suppliers' equivalents into a canonical room ID, so you can shop rates without duplicate inventory.
• Continuous refresh. Static and dynamic Methabook content is pulled on a recurring cycle, so newly contracted properties enter the mapped catalog without engineering work.
• One REST endpoint. Call Methabook content through the same Vervotech endpoint that serves the rest of your supplier mix.

How the Methabook integration works

1. Ingest. Vervotech pulls the Methabook hotel content feed on a continuous refresh cycle. Both static (hotel attributes) and structural (room and board types) data are captured.
2. Normalize. Methabook's schema is mapped to a canonical Vervotech model. Currency, language, geocoding, and amenity vocabularies are standardized.
3. Resolve. Every Methabook property is matched to a canonical Vervotech hotel ID using deterministic rules (address, geocode, name) and ML scoring trained on 3M+ properties.
4. Deduplicate rooms. Equivalent room types from Methabook are collapsed with peer supplier rooms into a canonical room ID.
5. Expose. Methabook content is reachable through one Vervotech REST endpoint, mixed with the rest of your supplier inventory.

Methabook in depth

Methabook is a Spain-based hotel content and rate aggregator that distributes inventory from a large pool of European and global bedbanks, OTAs, and hotel chains. Methabook's positioning is as a metasearch-and-content intermediary, feeding OTAs and travel-tech vendors with consolidated hotel content rather than operating as a direct property distributor. The Methabook portfolio spans hundreds of thousands of properties across every major European market.

Vervotech maps Methabook on the same footing as 400+ other hotel suppliers. You call one Vervotech REST endpoint. We handle the Methabook feed sync, the schema normalization, and the property ID resolution. Your rooms and rates come back with canonical Vervotech hotel IDs, so a Methabook property is instantly comparable to the same hotel from Hotelbeds, Expedia Rapid, TBO Holidays, or any other supplier in your stack.

Methabook data reachable through Vervotech

Methabook provides hotel content and rate feeds that Vervotech ingests and normalizes to the same canonical model as every other supplier. You never touch the Methabook feed schema directly.

How you connect Methabook through Vervotech in 5 steps

1. Step 1. Sign up for Vervotech. Create a Vervotech account and grab your REST API key. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
2. Step 2. Enable Methabook in your dashboard. Toggle Methabook on. If you have a direct Methabook contract, plug your credentials into the Vervotech dashboard. If not, Vervotech can help you evaluate whether Methabook coverage fits your regional needs before you commit.
3. Step 3. Sync property IDs. Vervotech maps every Methabook property ID to a canonical Vervotech hotel_id. You get a CSV or an API endpoint to reconcile your existing IDs with ours.
4. Step 4. Call the unified shopping endpoint. One HTTPS POST returns rates from Methabook, Hotelbeds, Expedia Rapid, and every other supplier you have enabled. Compare margins per room across suppliers in a single JSON response.
5. Step 5. Book via the Vervotech booking API. Pass the room token. Vervotech proxies to Methabook and returns the booking reference plus cancellation and modification links on the canonical booking record.

Methabook API access and eligibility

Methabook API access is granted through the Methabook commercial team following a distribution agreement. Vervotech-mapped customers keep their commercial relationship with Methabook and use their own credentials on the Vervotech dashboard; Vervotech is the technical integration layer, not the commercial counterparty. Coverage is monitored continuously as Methabook publishes new inventory.
