Feature request: API access, periodic export of reservations CSV file or maybe an MCP Server to interact with hosting capabilities

[Alejo-Sebastian0]

Hello AirBnB and community!

I'm both a Host and a Software Engineer and I like to automate things to simplify my hosting experience, delight my guests and save time.

Today I have automated every possible thing, from generating unique door codes for my guests to generating my tax documents.

The problem I face today is that I can't programmatically interact with AirBnB, because everything requires human intervention. What I do is that I periodically export the CSV file with all reservations, and feed it into my automation process, but that also requires me to download that file every day.

Are there any plans to provide automation tools for hosts?

Examples:

- API access so I can query reservations and connect to my systems

- Maybe automatically exporting the CSV file with reservations and send it via email

- Or dreaming into the AI world, having an MCP server I can connect with my AI agents to perform tasks with my account.

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to hearing from you and also the community.

Alejo.

Hi Alejo,

I’m also working on this and completely share your experience. From what I’ve found so far, the emails, iCal feeds, or CSV exports are the only reliable ways to access information about stays, guest data, and financial details.

I’d be more than grateful if we could get in touch to discuss how we might collaborate and make progress together on finding or building better solutions.

Best,
Patrice
