GIATA FACTS is a service that provides structured information on travel offers in the form of fact sheets in an XML format. The request is specified by a catalogue hotel ID, which is an internal ID used by GIATA to identify a given offer (hotel).
A fact sheet is divided into several groups of facts. These groups can be seen as a structuring suggestion.
In each group there are one or more facts, e.g. beach. Each fact can have 0, 1 or more attributes, e.g. sandy (beach). An attribute can have a value and a unit (of measurement), eg. (beach) in 200 metres distance.
Detailed information can be found here: Appendix A, Description of facts and values
In order to use GIATA FACTS you need special clearance. Please refer to <sales@giata.com>.
Access to the resources of this web service is password-protected. The user name for authentication is the "Fact User ID" specified in the activation mail.
You set the password yourself via the "Set link to password" in the activation mail.
Code example 1 for authentication via shell/curl:
curl --user "your-uid":"your-password" 'https://xml.giatamedia.com/?...'
Code example 2 for authentication via php:
<?php
$username = "your-uid";
$password = "your-password";
$remote_url = 'https://xml.giatamedia.com/?...';
$opts = array('http'=>array('method'=>"GET",
'header' => "Authorization: Basic ". base64_encode("$username:$password")));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$file = file_get_contents($remote_url, false, $context);
print($file);
Fact sheets are retrieved via an http request; the specific URL for such a request can be obtained from the GIATA XML web service. Thus the first step is determining the URL of the fact sheet; the second step is retrieving the fact sheet itself.
Just append a further parameter "fact" to the GET parameter "show" of your request. This is the only relevant addition to the GIATA XML web service. Please refer to the documentation for general usage.
You must append your credentials to the URL retrieved.
Example for the retrieval of a fact sheet URL for an offer identified by provider and booking code. We use "NEC" as the provider and "11006A" as the booking code.
https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=hotel&vc=NEC&oc=11006A&show=fact,hn,vn
The XML response will look like this:
<result found="1"> <data id="0"> <Factsheet>https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=fact&khid=3200166</Factsheet> <Hotelname>Hotel Don Antonio</Hotelname> <Veranstaltername>Neckermann</Veranstaltername> </data> </result>
Now you can extract the fact sheet URL and append your credentials. With this link you can retrieve the fact sheet. In this example the link will look like this:
https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=fact&khid=4253456
In order to create and maintain a local mirror of the fact sheets, initially you need to retrieve a full dump. Afterwards you can retrieve and process lists of incremental updates.
Use this URL:
https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=list&list=fact&mode=dump
The response is a compressed *.tar.gz file with a file name following this pattern:
factsheets.modifiedEnd=X.uid=X.ts=X.tar.gz
The parameters in the file name are:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| modifiedEnd | A numerical value which is required for running updates. |
| uid | The XML-UID that identifies your account. |
| ts | Timestamp of the creation of the dump. |
Once you decompress the *.tar.gz file you will find directories representing tour operators in the root directory. The names of the subdirectories in the next level represent the IDs of catalogues. Finally there are subdirectories with ranges of IDs of travel offers and XML files identifying a fact sheet and its respective travel offer by its ID.
e.g.: TUI/9532/2612000_2613000/2612689.xml
In order to retrieve incremental updates you can make a request to this URL (please add your credentials for "uid" and "pwd"):
https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=list&list=fact&mode=update&modified=X
As "modified" parameter you enter the value of your last update. This value is either the "modifiedEnd" parameter from the file name of your initial dump or the value of the "modifiedEnd" attribute in the root node of the response delivered for your previous update.
The response will look like this:
<FactUpdateList found="169" modifiedStart="1287011826001" modifiedEnd="1287357085000"> <data id="1"> <!-- Factsheet update --> <KataloghotelID>3200090</KataloghotelID> <Factsheet>https://xml.giatamedia.com/?sc=fact&khid=3200090</Factsheet> </data> <data id="2" status="deleted"> <!-- Factsheet löschen --> <KataloghotelID>2611207</KataloghotelID> </data> ... </FactUpdateList>
If you encounter an attribute 'status="deleted"' within a "data" node, you must remove the fact sheet identified by the <KataloghotelID> (travel offer ID) from your local mirror.
