The `OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo` (HDI) endpoint is now under deprecation for Home providers
The OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo (HDI) endpoint was deprecated for Home providers in December 2024. We will sunset this endpoint for Home providers on December 31, 2026. For more information on the deprecation and sunsetting timeline, see OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo (HDI) endpoint in Content API.
We strongly encourage Home providers to implement new modular APIs at their earliest convenience, which will enable them to retrieve relevant property information using the GET method.
To learn more about our new modular APIs, see our guide on Making property onboarding easier.
For further information that is available these can be found in the Services on the left hand side menu.
