Dominate Hotel TV — API Documentation

REST API for PMS integration, guest management, billing, and room service

Authentication

All requests require a customerId parameter that identifies your hotel. Pass it as a query parameter on every request:

?customerId=cust_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Your customer ID will be provided during onboarding. This scopes all data to your hotel — you will only see your own guests, rooms, and orders.
