Last week a couple of partners asked whether they could integrate their own search forms with sletoH.com hotel search. We have re-written a piece of the search engine to make this possible.

To create your own search form you will need these form input components:

  1. Text box for the hotel, city or airport name.
  2. Date input for check in date (date format is dd-mm-yyyy).
  3. Nights dropdown.
  4. Rooms, adults and children dropdowns. When children > 0, child_age must be supplied for each child.
  5. Currency dropdown (EUR, GBP, USD).

Refer to the search form at www.sletoh.com for dropdown values and ranges. For example nights is between 1 and 28, rooms between 1 and 5.

Your search form should send traffic to the following URL:

http://www.sletoh.com/find.php?search_term=halifax&country_id=&check_in_date=27-07-2011&nights=1&rooms=1&adults=1&children=1&child_age_1=6&child_age_2=-&child_age_3=-&child_age_4=-&currency=GBP&partner_id=0

Parameters search_term, check_in_date, nights, rooms, adults, children and currency are mandatory.  Parameter partner_id is given to you in your welcome email and can be retrieved from the partners login area. If you add a country dropdown to your search form, take the country IDs from the list of all cities and countries.
