Smoobu

Smoobu is an all-in-one vacation rental channel manager and property management system for short-term rental hosts and property managers. It synchronizes availability, rates, and reservations across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and other channels, and provides a booking website, unified guest inbox, automated messaging, guest online check-in, invoicing, and dynamic pricing. The Smoobu REST API (base https://login.smoobu.com/api) lets Professional subscribers and integration partners read and write apartments, reservations, rates and availability, guests, and guest messages, and receive webhook notifications when bookings change. Authentication is via an API key header (with HMAC-signed requests recommended and OAuth 2 available for partners).

Smoobu publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Apartments API, Guests API, Messaging API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Vacation Rental, Channel Manager, Property Management, Short-Term Rental, and Reservations.

Smoobu’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/smoobu: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
