Hostex API Skill (Node)

Auth (PAT)

• Set env var: HOSTEX_ACCESS_TOKEN
• Requests use header: Hostex-Access-Token:
• OpenAPI security scheme name: HostexAccessToken

Default recommendation: use a read-only PAT.

Dates / timezone

• All date params are YYYY-MM-DD
• Interpret dates in property timezone (no UTC timestamps)

OpenAPI source of truth

Stable OpenAPI JSON:

• https://hostex.io/open_api/v3/config.json

Use scripts/openapi-sync.mjs to cache a local copy into references/openapi.json.

Quick commands (scripts)

All scripts expect HOSTEX_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Writes (guarded)

Writes are disabled unless:

• HOSTEX_ALLOW_WRITES=true

and you pass --confirm.

  --available false \
  --start-date 2026-02-03 \
  --end-date 2027-02-02 \
  --confirm

Operational guardrails (mandatory)

When doing any write operation:

1) Summarize the change (who/what/when/how much).

2) Require the user to explicitly confirm (e.g. CONFIRM).

3) Prefer --dry-run first if available.

Notes

• Pagination: endpoints commonly accept offset + limit (limit max 100).
• Never print tokens in logs; scripts redact secrets automatically.
