How does Screen and Protect API work?

Security deposits slow down bookings and rarely cover serious damage. Manual screening eats up time better spent growing your business. And when incidents happen, traditional insurance means long waits while you cover costs upfront.

Our Screen and Protect API seamlessly integrates with your existing systems to automate screening and protection.

  • Evaluate each booking based on guest profile, property value, and stay duration.
  • Risky bookings get flagged before check-in.
  • Protect against damage up to $1M.

You can configure different protection levels for different properties or adjust by season — whatever fits your business model.
