api key

[karmon]

Hi David!
Great work in this repo, I would love to help you maintain it. I was wondering how the api key works. I tried to use the one you had in config and it worked for a while but than it stopped after a day. Is there a way to generate those keys?

Have the same question. How to get a valid API key?

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Here is how you generate an api key:

To set this API up, follow these steps:
I assume you have node installed (nvm maybe?) and that you have a listing on AirBnb.

npm install bnbhostapi (or git clone git@github.com:davidplappert/bnbhostapi.git && npm install)
export bnbhostapi_username='xxxxxxx' (replace with your email)
export bnbhostapi_password='xxxxxxx' (replace with your password)
node examples/login.js (this generates a oauth token we need for the rest of the api calls)
export bnbhostapi_oauthtoken = xxxxxx (output from the above script)
node examples/getPayouts.js (to make sure your setup is correct).

I will accept as much help as I can get with this! Just submit PRs and I will review them. @karmon @christophgasser

Hi @davidplappert! I hope to be able to improve the repo and start making some PR's soon!
btw, where do you get the api key from in config.js?

[davidplappert]

@karmon follow these steps: https://github.com/davidplappert/bnbhostapi#to-set-this-api-up-follow-these-steps

Note, the token is generated in step 4

hi David! I understand how to get the auth token. My question is about the api key in the config.
"'x-airbnb-api-key': '915pw2pnf4h1aiguhph5gc5b2'"

Yeah we need a new x-airbnb-api-key unfortunately

@davidplappert @karmon @earlvanze @christophgasser Any luck with the Aibnb API Key

[earlvanze]

I gave up and decided to pursue the integration via Smartbnb instead, since I already use their platform heavily for automation. They just opened their API and I can theoretically send messages to Airbnb via Smartbnb's messaging, as they have a legitimate Airbnb API key.
