Search published bookable products with natural language

POST /v1/developer/collections/{collection}/search

Operation ID: searchBookableProducts

Runs a collection-scoped semantic search over published bookable products. Results are ranked discovery candidates, not availability claims, stay quotes, or booking offers. The first release keeps the evidence gate off so each request consumes one bounded quota unit.

Contract status

Field	Value
Maturity	`beta`
Required capability	`search.read`
Freshness class	`published-content`
Quota cost	`1`
Operational owner	Search + API + Developer Experience

All operations require a Kismet Developer Bearer credential. Collection and resource authority is resolved from the credential’s installation grants; identifiers in the URL never grant access.

Request parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`collection`	path	string	yes
