# GetSpecialRequest

This API retrieves the list of predefined special requests that guests can add to their
\
reservation.
\
Each special request is represented by a code and a description (specialrequest).

These codes are later used when committing a reservation (e.g., in
\
CommitReservation API) to ensure consistent handling of special requests across the
\
system.

**Use Case:**
\
When a guest makes a reservation, you can attach special requests by passing the
\
code(s) retrieved from this API to the reservation commit endpoint

**Endpoint:**

```
GET [SD-URL]/api/SmartDistribution/getSpecialRequests
```

| Header    | Type   | Required | Description                     |
