Lodgify API
Lodgify publishes a REST v2 API covering properties, rates, bookings, and messaging, with API-key or OAuth 2.0 auth and a 750 calls/min limit. Access is plan-gated: Starter customers are locked out, and partner OAuth requires approval. The surface still splits across legacy v1 and v2.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
