Retrieve Athensotel's direct booking engine links, check-in/check-out hours, reception hours, smoking policy, and policy page links via a single API endpoint.
What is the Athensotel API?
The Athensotel.com API exposes 8 structured fields from the hotel's website through a single endpoint, get_booking_info. It returns the direct booking engine URLs behind the site's 'Book Now' buttons, arrival and departure hours, reception hours, smoking policy, and links to the hotel's terms, GDPR, and cookie policy pages — all in one call with no input parameters required.
No input parameters required.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

Returns the hotel's direct online booking engine links (the hrefs behind the site's 'Book Now' buttons, external to the hotel website), the arrival (check-in) and departure (check-out) hours, reception hours, smoking policy, any further policy notes, and the site's hotel policy / terms page links. Takes no parameters; one call reads two hotel pages (home and rooms) and returns a single object. Hours are returned as the site's own phrasing (one shape: 'From 14:30'). Only pages that the hotel publishes publicly are read; nothing is booked or submitted.
No input parameters required.

}About the Athensotel API
What the API Returns
The get_booking_info endpoint returns a flat object covering the core operational and policy information published on athensotel.com. Key fields include check_in and check_out (the arrival and departure hours as phrased on the site), reception_hours (availability text for the front desk), and smoking_policy (the hotel's stated smoking rules, or null if not published). The hotel_name field carries the hotel name as it appears in the site title.
Booking Links and Policy Links
booking_links is an array of {label, href} objects representing the external booking engine URLs behind every 'Book Now' button on the site. These are direct links to the third-party reservation system the hotel uses, making them suitable for redirect flows or availability checks against that engine. policy_links is a parallel array covering the hotel's terms of use, GDPR policy, and cookie policy pages, each with a human-readable label and the full href.
Source Traceability and Additional Notes
The source_urls object maps each group of returned values back to the specific hotel page it was read from, so you can verify freshness or audit changes. The other_policy_notes array captures any additional lines from the arrivals-and-departures policy block that fall outside the structured fields — useful for edge cases like late check-out conditions or deposit policies that the site phrases inconsistently across updates.
The Athensotel API is a managed, monitored endpoint for athensotel.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when athensotel.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official athensotel.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Does athensotel.com have an official developer API?+
What does `booking_links` actually contain — are these availability calendar links or just the booking engine homepage?+
booking_links array contains the exact hrefs behind every 'Book Now' button on athensotel.com at the time of the call. These are external URLs pointing to the hotel's reservation engine. The API does not filter by room type or date; it returns all booking entry points the site exposes.Does the API return room listings, rates, or availability data?+
What happens when `smoking_policy` or `reception_hours` is null?+
other_policy_notes array may still contain related text if the site phrases those details differently or places them outside the standard policy block.
