Perplexity

Claude Code runs Hostaway tools in the shell

Connect to your account and pipe `get_calendar` output into your local scripts. It works headless, perfect for automated cron jobs that check your schedule. It avoids the browser entirely. You get the raw JSON back from `list_reservations` so you can format it exactly how your workflow demands.

Scripting Hostaway financials with Claude Code

Automate your monthly reporting by calling `get_financials` via the CLI. It handles the request and sends the data straight to your local analysis pipeline. This removes the manual download step. You have a direct line to your earnings data, ready for processing the second you run the command.

Monitor Hostaway channels via Claude Code

Keep tabs on your distribution network by running `list_channels` in your terminal. It gives you the sync status for every connected platform instantly. You can integrate this into your deployment scripts. If a channel goes down, your pipeline catches it before it impacts your bookings.
