List reservations (by check-in range):

bash

node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-read.mjs list-reservations --start-check-in-date 2026-02-01 --end-check-in-date 2026-02-28 --limit 20

Writes (guarded)

Writes are disabled unless:

HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true

and you pass --confirm.

Send message:

bash

HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-write.mjs send-message --conversation-id 123 --text "Hello!" --confirm

Update listing prices (single range example):

bash

HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-write.mjs update-listing-prices \
  --channel-type airbnb \
  --listing-id 456 \
  --start 2026-02-10 \
  --end 2026-02-15 \
  --price 199 \
  --confirm

Update listing prices (multi-range in one request):

bash

HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-write.mjs update-listing-prices \
  --channel-type booking_site \
  --listing-id 100541-10072 \
  --prices "2026-02-03..2026-02-05:599,2026-02-06..2026-02-07:699,2026-02-08..2026-02-09:599" \
  --confirm

Create reservation (Direct Booking) (example):

bash

HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-write.mjs create-reservation \
  --property-id 123 \
  --custom-channel-id 77 \
  --check-in-date 2026-02-10 \
  --check-out-date 2026-02-12 \
  --guest-name "Alice" \
  --currency USD \
  --rate-amount 200 \
  --commission-amount 0 \
  --received-amount 200 \
  --income-method-id 3 \
  --confirm

Update property availabilities (close/open) (example):

bash

# Close a property for a date range
HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true node skills/hostex/scripts/hostex-write.mjs update-availabilities \
  --property-ids "11322075" \
  --available false \
  --start-date 2026-02-03 \
  --end-date 2027-02-02 \
  --confirm

Operational guardrails (mandatory)

When doing any write operation: 1) Summarize the change (who/what/when/how much). 2) Require the user to explicitly confirm (e.g. CONFIRM). 3) Prefer --dry-run first if available.

Notes

Pagination: endpoints commonly accept offset + limit (limit max 100).
Never print tokens in logs; scripts redact secrets automatically.

Installation

Terminal bash


openclaw install hostex
