RateHawk is a B2B travel-distribution platform exposing accommodation inventory to travel professionals and technology platforms. Its official API surface supports real-time inventory access, hotel content and booking workflows.

## Ecosystem role

RateHawk should not be modeled only as a traditional bedbank. Because it aggregates inventory from many suppliers behind one B2B surface and API, it carries both bedbank and B2B-marketplace roles.

## API and supply model

Official sources describe RESTful API access, real-time processing and certification. Preserve RateHawk property identity, underlying supplier references, rate semantics and booking references separately.

## Technical lifecycle

Across search, selected rate, booking and servicing, keep content freshness, price confirmation, cancellation policy and supplier ownership explicit.


## Operations and observability

Production integrations should measure more than successful API responses. Track search/ARI freshness, mapping gaps, upstream latency, rejected mutations, booking confirmation, cancellation state and reconciliation drift separately. When a timeout leaves business state unknown, use lookup/reconciliation instead of blind retries. Preserve source identifiers and timestamps for incident analysis; a temporary partner-access failure should not silently mutate canonical entity or booking state.

## Boundaries

This profile describes capabilities supported by public official sources. Account-specific commercial terms, private endpoints, quotas and certification requirements should not be generalized without verification from the active partner contract.
