Events API for Hotel Revenue Management

Events API for Hotel Revenue Management

Multiple data streams in just one API

When you’re in the business of accommodation, it pays to know your stuff. You undoubtedly understand how seasonal changes impact your bottom line, but do you understand how events like major music concerts, festivals, sporting fixtures, airport delays or natural disasters could do the same? That’s where PredictHQ’s demand intelligence API comes in. PredictHQ collates and aggregates local, national and international scheduled and unscheduled events into one handy place, so you can forecast what events are happening and when, and can plan accordingly. Make fewer hotel rooms available at higher pricing levels when you know demand will be high, then make more hotel rooms available at lower pricing levels to keep occupancy at a good level to combat downturns.

Ranked Events

Not sure what events matter most? Don’t worry - we’ve sorted them for you

Thanks to PredictHQ, you don’t need a crystal ball to forecast the future. Keep your occupancy levels high all year round, regardless of what events are on the horizon, by accessing millions of scheduled and unscheduled global events that could impact your bottom line. With events from 19 event categories - and counting - we’ve got all of your bases covered. Our API enables you to find relevant events with a simple REST call, so you can display them in your own hotel revenue management application. Our intuitive in-house ranking algorithm assigns a numerical rank to every single event we store, so you can filter from major to minor events and see at a glance which ones you should pay careful attention to. Download and store our events, so you can carry out data modeling and analysis or enrich your own dataset to produce derivative works.

Expecting lots of heads looking for pillows next time Ed Sheeran is in town? Use PredictHQ to find out about the event in the first place, so your revenue managers can adjust prices accordingly in the lead-up to major events like those and more. Make more hotel rooms available at higher pricing levels; you could even develop a Sheeran package for concertgoers including food and tickets. Alternatively, use PredictHQ’s intel to know when you might expect a quiet month, and make more rooms available at lower rates or roster less staff, making the most of a drop in demand while reducing operational costs in the process. The options are endless!

Making Flat Event Data Intelligent

If you’re in the business of hotel revenue management, you’ll be acutely aware of ensuring your profit margins remain healthy and your occupancy remains full. PredictHQ’s ability to source scheduled and unscheduled events in a programmatic way enables accommodation businesses to know when demand might spike, and therefore plan accordingly. We pull multiple data streams and third party APIs into one smart information source so all the event information that could impact your business can be found in one handy place. Discover events that are relevant to you by searching within a geographical radius, using IATA codes or geographical place names. You can query multiple categories and locations simultaneously and get JSON responses. Integrating our data with any platform is simple thanks to our easy-to-use API. We also have Python and JavaScript SDKs available, and we use the OAuth 2.0 standard for authentication with access tokens required to grant application access to the tools available in the API. Developers won’t need to spend precious time capturing, cleaning and maintaining disparate data sources because we do it for them, plus our API is versioned for easier maintenance.
