API Overview

Version 1.02

All API methods require an HTTP User-Agent header and a token to execute. All requests without a user-agent header will fail with a 403 Forbidden HTTP response status code. A token is obtained by calling the authenticate method. Please check out the authentication method's documentation for instructions on its use.

If you wish to use the Meetingmax API to integrate with us, credentials must first be created by the Meetingmax licensee via the MCP application interface.

API Endpoint

https://mmxreservations.com/api/v102

Attendee Integration

The Reservation Attendee Integration is a way to provide customer details to the Meetingmax system prior to them beginning the reservation process. Systems that wish to use the Reservation Attendee Integration will need to leverage the Meetingmax API in order to provide the customer details and to generate the unique URL that the system would send customers to in order to book their reservation.

How it Works

When a customer has already provided their contact details in your own event management system, you can streamline their process when making their reservation by providing Meetingmax their contact information.

Once the customer data has been successfully inserted into the Meetingmax system, you can then generate a special URL based on their attendee identifier. When the customer goes to this URL, they will then be able to go through the reservation process, except that their contact information will already be loaded into the personal contact fields based on what was provided earlier.
