Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
Version History
- Added support and documentation for updating listing prices with multiple date/price ranges in a single request. - Added support and example for updating property availabilities (close/open) via the script interface.
What This Skill Does
Connects to the Hostex vacation rental management platform via its OpenAPI v3.0 API. Supports querying properties, room types, reservations, availability, listing calendars, guest messages, and reviews. Reads are safe by default; writes require an opt-in env flag and explicit per-command confirmation.
Write operations are gated behind both an env flag and a --confirm argument, so an agent cannot modify live pricing or availability without deliberate user approval.
When to use it
- Check which reservations are checking in next week
- Block a property from new bookings during a maintenance window
- Update nightly prices on an Airbnb or Booking.com listing
- Send a message to a guest through the Hostex inbox
- Create a direct booking reservation for a known guest
