Oath 2.0 API Authentication
Had an issue with Oath 2.0 API Authentication. Rohit fixed the issue within a couple of hours. Highly recommend the custom api plugin and the api authentication plugin. Great service!!!

An excellent API and excellent support
I have the free version of miniOrange Custom API installed on my site since I only require a specific API, and it’s more than enough for my needs. After an update, the API I was using stopped working, so I contacted the support team. Even though I didn’t have the paid version, they listened to me and resolved the issue I reported in the next update, and everything went back to normal. I’m grateful to Sukhada for the support provided, and please don’t hesitate to install this wonderful plugin.

MiniOrange does wonders!
We had the pleasure of working with MiniOrange to integrate our hotel booking website with our property management system using APIs and webhooks, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding! From the start, the team at MiniOrange took the time to understand our requirements thoroughly and delivered exactly what we needed. Despite our extremely tight deadlines, they remained highly responsive and ensured that we got the best results without compromising on quality. Our goal was to have a real-time booking engine that seamlessly syncs with our PMS, keeping room availability, pricing, and reservations updated across multiple platforms. They successfully developed a system that ensures prices update dynamically, availability remains accurate, and any reservations made on our website are instantly reflected in our PMS with all the necessary details. They also ensured that bookings are only confirmed once payment is verified with our payment gateway partner, aligning perfectly with our operational requirements. Despite facing limitations due to our WordPress theme, MiniOrange went above and beyond to overcome those challenges, delivering a smooth and efficient solution that exceeded our expectations. Their work on the backend is exceptionally clean, optimized, and reliable, ensuring long-term stability and ease of management. A special thanks to Vidushi Gupta, Rohit Sharma, Sharshdeep Saluja, and the entire MiniOrange team for their dedication, expertise, and professionalism. Their services are also cost-effective, making them a great choice for businesses in the hospitality industry. If you're looking for a team that can handle complex integrations, deliver tailored solutions, and work under pressure while maintaining high standards, MiniOrange is the perfect partner. Highly recommended!
