Fastest path to a key
- Talk to salesNo self-serve path. Airbnb API (Homes/Activities API at developer.withairbnb.com) is for invited Preferred Software Partners only; Airbnb's partner managers reach out to prospects.
- Talk to salesIf invited: sign partner agreement -> Partner Portal access -> create app -> sandbox (Sandbox V2) -> certification -> production.
- No guest/booking API and no official MCP; consumer agents can only browse the website (subject to robots).
- Working API key
Biggest gap
No sanctioned agent surface of any kind; strategic choice to wait for richer agent SDKs.
Worth copying
Explicit per-agent robots groups (distinguishing user-triggered ChatGPT-User from GPTBot training) is at least a deliberate policy.
