For GIATA MultiCodes, we have created a list of steps that we recommend to be followed to ensure our data collections are properly integrated. The result of such a process is the correct usage of the data, i.e. a structured booking platform without duplicates.
All Specifications and starting points (API) to explore our mapping tool MC (MultiCodes) can be found here: http://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/specs
Step 1: Initial download:
You may use the below multi-download. It returns multiple GIATA-IDs in a single response:
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi
The number of properties displayed in response to one single request is limited (currently to 1,000). If there are more properties to your query, this is indicated by an additional XML node <more/> containing the xlink to the next set of properties, e.g.:
<more xlink:href="https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi/offset/1122"/>
<more xlink:href="https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi/offset/1122"/>
Step 2: Delta/Incremental download
a) Request for updated properties since a given date, e.g.:
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi/since/2021-05-31
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/multi/since/2021-05-31
b) Request for moved properties since a given date, e.g.:
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/moved/since/2021-05-31
https://multicodes.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.latest/properties/moved/since/2021-05-31
We highly recommend following step 2 frequently (at the best every 24 hours) as we do several changes in our database daily (such as corrections, deduplication, adding new mappings, etc.).
