The company registered 78% cumulative growth in API bookings year over year by the end of the first half of 2026 and 28% growth in its partnership network.

In the first half of 2026, RateHawk has seen continued momentum in API adoption, with its partner network reaching 1,800 companies globally. Integrating with RateHawk API, they get access to millions of accommodations across 190+ countries, sourced from global suppliers and directly contracted properties.

The partnership network includes a wide range of travel businesses, including online travel agencies (OTAs), tour operators, travel management companies (TMCs), startups, and other businesses integrating accommodation inventory into their platforms.

Among RateHawk’s most recent API partners in the UK is Bedfares.

“The growth of API bookings reflects a broader shift in the travel industry: as travelers become more price-sensitive and their expectations more diverse, businesses need to expand supply options and respond faster to market changes.

"Technology partners can help them with that. Building a broad and competitive accommodation portfolio independently can take years and requires significant investment, which is why more travel companies are turning to API integrations.

"We believe the next phase of industry growth will be increasingly powered by connected ecosystems, and developing our API infrastructure remains one of our strategic priorities,” says Christopher Jallah, Head of API Distribution at RateHawk.

RateHawk has recently accelerated the development of its API infrastructure by launching a Content API available in 32 languages. The updated solution provides partners with enriched real-time hotel information, enhanced with AI-powered tools for mapping, content management, and rate matching.

"It also includes anomaly detection that ensures data quality at scale. RateHawk API also supports package rates and multi-room bookings within a single order, simplifying complex reservations."
