Escapia has an API, but not one you can sign up for. The Escapia Gateway API speaks JSON and GraphQL, and Escapia's own documentation frames it as an interface for approved Escapia partners. On top of that, each property manager separately controls which partner accounts see their units. There is no official MCP server and no self-serve developer key anywhere in that chain.
Gate one: partner approval
Escapia access has two independent layers, and clearing one does nothing without the other.
According to Escapia's developer documentation (escapia.com), the Gateway API lets "Escapia partners (API users)" interact with the property management system using JSON and the GraphQL query language. It is a partner interface, not an open developer program. The endpoint is api-gateway.escapia.com/graphql, with a separate token endpoint for authentication.
Escapia also operates the older EscapiaNET SOAP program, which exists to distribute units to Escapia's network partners.
Gate two: the property manager's own switch
This is the part that surprises developers. According to Escapia's developer FAQ, "Partner access to individual property manager data is controlled by each property manager through the Escapia Unit Distribution settings," which Escapia notes is "the same process used today for the EscapiaNet API."
An approved partner with valid credentials still sees nothing until the property manager enables distribution to that partner account, unit by unit. If you are building an internal tool on your own Escapia data, you are not blocked by code. You are blocked by two permission gates that live outside your codebase.

Quick FAQ
How do you get access to the Escapia API?
Access has two layers. First you must be an approved Escapia API partner. Second, according to Escapia's developer FAQ, partner access to an individual property manager's data is controlled by each property manager through the Escapia Unit Distribution settings, the same mechanism used for the EscapiaNET API. So even an approved partner sees nothing until the property manager enables distribution to that partner account.
