# PriceLabs

> Dynamic pricing: listings, overrides, neighborhood data, rate plans, and reservations.

PriceLabs is included in Archal's environment catalog. Use it in a sandbox for dynamic pricing: listings, overrides, neighborhood data, rate plans, and reservations.

| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Environment ID  | `pricelabs`                                      |
| Transport       | REST                                             |

| Channel         | Preview                                          |
| Curated samples | 5                                                |

Preview means the environment is included for testing, but its upstream coverage is incomplete. Verify the operations your test depends on.

## Compatibility boundary

**Local catalog validation:** All five published samples passed. Checks cover the state contract, relationships, artifact hash, secret scan, and size limit.

<Note>
  Local catalog validation is not hosted proof. Archal checks current certification, reset, and isolation evidence before admitting new sandboxes. Use the authenticated environment catalog for live availability.
</Note>

* Not a general pricing engine; unsupported listings and price-bearing override errors remain upstream-shaped.

## Curated starting states

List the five samples with `archal sample list pricelabs`. Each sample is a versioned starting state with a representative read, mutation, expected diff, reset expectation, and verified artifact hash.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="PriceLabs listing baseline">
    Read listing 486177 and merge a new base price through the supported settings overlay.

    **Sample ID:** `pricelabs.listing-baseline.v1`

    **Category:** `minimal`

    **Starting state:** 1 record across `_priceLabsReplayOverlay.runtimeListings`: 1

    **Supported surface:** Stateful listing-settings merge and date-override upsert overlay.

    **Required capabilities:** `state.read`, `state.load`, `state.reset`, `rest.listing-settings`

    **First read:** `GET /v1/listings/486177`. Expected result: HTTP 200.

    **Representative mutation:** `POST /v1/listings`. Expected result: HTTP 200, 201, 204.

    **Mutation input**

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "listings": [
        {
          "base": 205,
          "id": "486177",
          "pms": "ownerrez"
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

    **Expected diff:** changes include `_priceLabsReplayOverlay.runtimeListings`. Exact match required: no. Hosted promotion must observe every listed path after the provider-native mutation; dynamic provider ids and timestamps are excluded from exact matching.

    **Expected reset:** restores loaded sample.

    **Known limits**

    * Not a general pricing engine; unsupported listings and price-bearing override errors remain upstream-shaped.

    **Start this sample**

    ```bash theme={null}
    archal sample show pricelabs.listing-baseline.v1 --raw > archal-pricelabs-listing-baseline.json
    archal state validate pricelabs archal-pricelabs-listing-baseline.json
    archal session create pricelabs \
      --state pricelabs=archal-pricelabs-listing-baseline.json
    ```

    **Inspect the raw state**

    ```bash theme={null}
    archal sample show pricelabs.listing-baseline.v1 --raw
    ```

    The packaged JSON artifact is `samples/states/pricelabs/listing-baseline/state.json` and is 254 bytes. The CLI verifies SHA-256 `4b47dea92b94e3b4cff35b117c754162865b5269141a84187a448bb408b194d1` before printing it.

    Catalog validation: **Passed**. Hosted availability is determined by Archal's live certification and admission system, not this static page.

## Use custom state

Start from a sample when possible. For custom state, inspect the contract with `archal environment describe pricelabs`, then validate the file before creating a sandbox:

```bash theme={null}
archal state validate pricelabs state.json
```

Loading state replaces the current collections and establishes a new reset baseline. See [Starting state](/sandboxes/starting-state) before replacing state in an existing sandbox.
