Abstract
This web service is provided as a REST application (REST = REpresentational State Transfer).
The web service and its associated documentation are currently being extended.
Access to the resources of this web service is password-protected.
Password protection supports HTTP Basic authentification.
The username for authentification consists of the username (usually the first part of the email address before "@") + | (Pipe) + the company name.
Thus access for testing purposes is given using:
testUser|testCompany
testPw

When retrieving details (name, address, texts, images) within a list of several properties, you must know the GIATA-IDs for these properties.
Modifiers (such as country or changedSince) are not available.
GIATA-IDs must be sent in a HTTP-POST request.
It depends on the URI to which the request is sent what details are delivered in the response.
http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/items
http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/texts/*language*
(Section 2.1.2, “List of all properties, which have texts in a given language”)
E.g.: http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/texts/en
http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/images
http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/items/*language*
E.g.: http://ghgml.giatamedia.com/webservice/rest/1.0/items/en
There are 2 ways to send the HTTP-Post request:
As an URL encoded HTTP-POST, having GIATA-IDs as an array in a variable giataIds.
E.g.:
curl -s --basic -u "*user*|*company*:*password*" -d "giataIds[]=2275&giataIds[]=2272" "*url*"
As a HTTP-POST, having the request wrapped in an XML document.
Example for the XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<giataIds>
<giataId>2275</giataId>
<giataId>2272</giataId>
</giataIds>Example for the request:
curl -s --basic -u "*user*|*company*:*password*" -d "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><giataIds><giataId>2275</giataId><giataId>2272</giataId></giataIds>" "*url*"

The node <result><items> has an attribute supplier with the name of the supplier and contains several nodes <item>.
Each node <item> has the attribute giataId (GIATA-ID) and contains one or more nodes <code>.
Each node <code> contains one or more nodes <value>. <value> will occur more than once when the code provided by the supplier is split, e.g. into Hotel chain and Hotel ID.
Each node <value> may contain the attribute name, e.g. into Hotel chain or Hotel ID.
You can retrieve the mapping for an property using the name of the supplier and the code of the property. All known codes of several suppliers (Section 2.3.2.1, “List of suppliers”) are returned.

The node <result><items> has two attributes: supplier with the name of the supplier and id containing the code of the property assigned by this supplier. Furthermore it contains one or more nodes of type <item>.
Each node <item> has the attribute giataId (GIATA-ID) and may contain the nodes <name>, <city>, <street> and <country> identifying the property.
Each node <item> contains one or more nodes <code>.
Each node <code> contains one or more nodes <value>. <value> will occur more than once when the code provided by the supplier is split, e.g. into Hotel chain and Hotel ID.
Each node <value> may contain the attribute name, e.g. into Hotel chain or Hotel ID.
Mapping can also be retrieved using the GIATA-ID, e.g.:

</result>In some cases a request will not produce a result.
This could be because your request was made up of a compound code.
In this case you should concatenate the various components (e.g. hotel chain and hotel code or country code, destination code and hotel code) without spaces, hyphens or other separators. E.g.:
