# Hotel API - Search by hotel ID

This API can help you get more than 15 cheapest vendors per hotel. In this API you have to pass the hotel ID. We have our own hotel IDs which you have to map during integration.

The API endpoint for this API is: `https://api.makcorps.com/hotelsearch`

### Guide

This API does not require a JWT token because you need your own personal API key to access this API. You can [contact us](https://share.hsforms.com/1A-iwjye2SwWRv4VHhQbBqg439wf) if you need API keys to this API. 

Here is the list of default parameters you have to use with this API:
