# Usage guidelines This section provides guidelines and general information on how to use the **Mews Booking Engine API**. For information about individual endpoints or operations, see [API Operations](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/operations.md). > **Important:** The Mews Booking Engine API is designed to be consumed directly by front-end clients. It is unsuitable for continuous polling by a single server due to its built-in anti-scraping protection and such requests can fail. For server to server communication, please refer to the [Mews Connector API](https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/). * [Authentication](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/authentication.md) * [Requests](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/requests.md) * [Responses](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/responses.md) * [Environments](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/environments.md) * [Images](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/images.md) * [Supported currency codes](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/supported-currency-codes.md) * [Supported language codes](/booking-engine-guide/booking-engine-api/guidelines/supported-language-codes.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
