n8n Integration

This server can be used with n8n workflows via HTTP requests. The n8n version runs on port 3000 by default and provides REST API endpoints.

Available Endpoints

• Health Check: GET http://localhost:3000/health
• API Documentation: GET http://localhost:3000/api/docs
• Search Availability: POST http://localhost:3000/api/search-availability
• Check Price: POST http://localhost:3000/api/check-price
• Book Hotel: POST http://localhost:3000/api/book-hotel
• Cancel Booking: POST http://localhost:3000/api/cancel-booking

n8n Workflow Setup

• Start the server:

  npm run start:n8n
  

• In n8n, add HTTP Request nodes for each operation:

  • Set Method to POST
  • Set URL to the appropriate endpoint
  • Set Headers: Content-Type: application/json
  • Set Body to the JSON payload (see examples below)

• Test the connection:

  node test-n8n-server.js
  

n8n Response Format

All endpoints return responses in this format:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { /* actual response data */ },
  "summary": { /* summary information */ },
  "metadata": {
    "timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "request_id": "req_1234567890_abc123"
  }
}

API Endpoints

The server integrates with the following HotelPlanet API endpoints:

• Search Availability: POST /engine/availability
• Check Price: POST /v2/engine/v1/prebook
• Book Hotel: POST /v2/engine/v1/bookv2
• Cancel Booking: POST /engine/cancel

Tool Usage Examples

Search Hotel Availability

  "property_ids": [24517],
  "checkin": "2025-11-25",
  "checkout": "2025-11-26",
  "occupancies": [

  },
  "star_rating": [4, 5],

}

💡 Best Practices for AI Agents:

• Limit property_ids to 5-10 properties for best performance
• Use max_properties (default: 5, max: 10) to control response size
• Use max_rates_per_property (default: 3, max: 5) to limit rates shown
• Apply filters (price_range, star_rating, board_types) to get targeted results
• The response includes guidance for next steps (price checking, booking)
