make_reservation

Description:

Enters a new reservation into the system. The ID of the new reservation is available in 'reservation_id' in case of success. If you're using the PRO-COMM payment model, the commission will be calculated for API-entered reservations.

Input:

start_time DateTime required
Beginning of rental
end_time DateTime required
End of rental. In case of whole-day reservations, enter either the date following the rental date without time or the actual end date with the hour set to 23:59. E.g. to reserve the entire day: 1st of January 2013, enter 2013-01-01 23:59:00 as the end time. In case of night reservations (e.g. accommodations), enter the departure date without any time. E.g. to reserve a single night of the 1st of January 2013, enter 2013-01-02 (=departure date).
