1. Introduction

The GIATA XML2 gateway facilitates quick and easy searches within the GIATA catalogue and Realtime data. With what is often just a short URL you can take full advantage of the broad spectrum of data GIATA has to offer. We supply the raw data that you can individually integrate into your own travel site.

Texts, images, detailed information about the hotel, tour operator information, basic information about the surrounding area and lists of other important information can all be delivered.

Here is a simple example of a query:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,oc,vc,pic,txt&sc=hotel&acount=1&a[1][vc]=GIATA&a[1][oc]=40

Click here to display the results of this query.

2. Types of Query

The gateway is separated into three parts, to allow for easy and efficient queries.

A detailed description of these parts follows:

The Hotel Search:

This delivers a list of hotels, filtered according to search parameters such as hotel name, destination and operator. This list can be spread over several pages.

The Hotel Display:

This supplies information for a specific hotel, searched for using an operator code (e.g. NEC, FTI), a booking code and/or GIATA codes (named in the following GIATAID). This is also the quickest of all the search options and is optimised for the display of a single hotel. In addition, this search option allows you to search for several hotels at once. We advise that any adaptation or use of the GIATAID (GIATA code) for the purpose of optimising search machine rankings is strictly prohibited.

The List Display:

This option supplies completed lists in an ideal form for the XML display, in order to offer a happy medium between XML validation, readability and speed. Here you receive lists of the available operators, countries, target area, locations and catalogues.

Each of the scans requires entry of a username and password, as well as the selection of a preferred search method.

An example of a search for GIATA ID 5000 (username and password here nor in the rest of the document are not valid neither):

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&sc=hotel&show=hn&gid=5000

3.8. GIATAIDs that are special or group IDs

For some types of property group IDs are available. All properties of this type can be called up using the group IDs, e.g. the property type "holiday homes".
The group IDs can be called up in the following way:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=xxx&pwd=xxx&sc=list&list=specialid

It does not make sense to carry out a direct search for these group IDs with the parameter sc=search . The parameter sc=search should be used in its place.

4. The Hotel Search in Detail

The hotel search facilitates a basic search according to various parameters. The hotel search is the function of choice when, for example, you wish to display all hotels in Mallorca, or a list of all hotels with names containing the words "beach resort", or any other similar search.

Here is a range of examples to clarify this.

4.1. Examples of Hotel Search Queries

  1. Search for a hotel with the word "resort" in the title:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,vc,vn,txt,pic&sc=search&hn=resort

    Display Results

  2. Search for hotels in Mallorca using the destination ID (the ID for Mallorca is 133, see sc=list&list=destination&lc=es):

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,txt,vn,pic074,ln,sn,zn&sc=search&zi=133

    Display Results

  3. The same search is carried out afresh, this time using the destination name, "mallorca". You will notice that method 2 is faster

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,txt,vn,pic074,ln,sn,zn&sc=search&zn=mallorca

    Display Results

  4. Display all hotels in catalogue "100034" (GIATA Online Hotels):

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,txt,vn,pic074,ln,sn,zn,katid&sc=search&katid=100034

    Display Results

  5. As in 4), but this time all Spanish hotels in the catalogue:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,txt,vn,pic074,ln,sn,zn,katid,kn&sc=search&katid=100034&ln=spanien

    Display Results

  6. All Turkish hotels with at least a 4-star rating, under the tour operator FTI:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,vn,ln,katid,kn,hk&sc=search&vc=fti&lc=tr&hkat=4

    Display Results

  7. same again, but this time with just 10 hotels per page, displaying page 2:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,vn,ln,katid,kn,hk&sc=search&vc=fti&lc=tr&hkat=4&spa=2&ppa=10

    Display Results

4.2. Examples of Full Text Searches

  1. for properties where the property description contains the word "Harley":

    http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,ln,zn,vc,txt&sc=search&fts=harley

    Display Results

  2. Search for properties where the property description contains the words "Harley" and "Sauna":

    http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,ln,zn,vc,oc,pic320,txt&sc=search&fts=harley,sauna

    Display Results

  3. Search for properties in Austria, property description contains the word "Streichelzoo" ("petting zoo"):

    http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,ln,zn,vc,text&sc=search&fts=streichelzoo&ln=Österreich

    Display Results

  4. Search for properties under the operators FTI or NEC, where the property description contains the word "Harley":

    http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=gid,hn,ln,zn,vc,txt&sc=search&fts=harley&vc=fti,nec

    Display Results

This search returns the GIATAID.

You can then use this ID to find the same property as listed by alternative operators, even when the same search term does not appear in the description provided by said operators.

Call: http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,txt,vn,pic074,ln,sn,zn,katid&sc=search&gid=XXX

Please note, when exploring the example hotel searches:

The information that is displayed about each hotel is contingent on the "show" parameter. We have varied the "show" parameter in the examples in order to clarify this.

5. The Hotel Display in Detail

The hotel display is, as described above, optimised to supply and display information about a single hotel, considered to be an ideal match. Unlike the hotel search, the hotel display displays only a single hotel for each query. There are also far fewer search options than in a hotel search. The hotel display is, however, considerably faster and allows for more than one query at the same time.

This factor is particularly noticeable in lists of hotels.

The only search parameters that support the hotel display are the GIATA ID (gid), the booking code (oc) and the operator code. These three specifications can be combined in any way, although a minimum of one specification is required.

The system utilises the following search logic, when all three parameters are given:

  1. Operator code + booking code
  2. Operator group + booking code (NEC hotels may also display texts from Bucher)
  3. Operator code + GIATAID
  4. GIATA as operator + GIATAID

If the parameter is only partially entered, only a partial search may be carried out.

5.1. Request to view a single hotel

Requests to view a single hotel are very simple.

Please note that GIATA will be used as the default when a tour operator is not entered.

  1. Search for the operator "FTI", the booking code "MM059" and the GIATA ID 1795:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,vn,ln,katid,kn,hk,pic320&sc=hotel&gid=1795&oc=MM059&vc=fti

    Display Results

  2. Search for GIATA ID 3400:

    http://www.giata-xml.de/index.php?uid=XX&pwd=XX&show=hn,vn,ln,katid,kn,hk,pic320&sc=hotel&gid=3400

    Display Results

5.2. Request to view several hotels at once

A multiple request enables you to call up several hotels, without having to send several separate requests to our XML gateway.

This considerably reduce the time needed for a query.

The typical use is a list of the hotels with known booking codes and operators. In order to display a preview image, the information for all hotels (say 10 hotels) must be requested. This would take a long time to do with single queries, therefore you have the option of sending all 10 at the same time.

Here is a short example, as a basis for further explanations.

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&sc=hotel&show=apos,hn,vc&acount=2&a[1][gid]=5000&a[1][vc]=fti&a[2][gid]=4500&a[2][vc]=fox

The result is as following:

<result found="2">
  <data id="0">
    <Anfragenummer>1</Anfragenummer>
    <Hotelname>Oasis Beach Hotel</Hotelname>
    <Veranstaltercode>FTI</Veranstaltercode>
  </data>
  <data id="1">
    <Anfragenummer>2</Anfragenummer>
    <Hotelname>Hotel Sürmeli</Hotelname>
    <Veranstaltercode>FOX</Veranstaltercode>
  </data>
</result>

The first parameters (uid, pwd, sc, show) are already known.

New additions are "acount" and the highly complex part around "a".

acount=2&a[1][gid]=5000&a[1][vc]=fti&a[2][gid]=4500&a[2][vc]=fox

Display is made somewhat easier if this section is broken down:

acount = 2      Zwei gleichzeitige Abfragen
a               Enthält die Abfragen
  [1]           Erste Abfrage, hat hier die Suche nach gid und vc
    vc  fti     Veranstalter FTI
    gid 5000    GIATAID 5000
  [2]           Zweite Abfrage, hat hier die Suche nach gid und vc
    vc  fox     Veranstalter Fox-Tours
    gid 4500    GIATAID 4500

Thus "acount" indicates the number of queries, whereas "a" contains the actual queries.

a[number][parameter]=calue

For "acount=5" there must be 5 queries. The number has to start from 1 incrementing up to the value of "acount". The parameter must be "gid", "oc" or "vc". In every query each paramater may only be used once. There should not be be than 10 queries at a time, maximum is 20.

In order to match the queries of a multiple request to the results you can use "apos" as value for the "show" parameter. If "apos" is used the result for each property contains the consecutive number of the query whether it was found or not. Please see the example above.

5.3. Special IDs/ Group IDs

It is not recommended that you search for Special IDs/ Group IDs although this action can be carried out using the parameter "sc=search".

5.4. Image clips

Image clips are provided as a Flash application including a player.
A special agreement is required. Please contact

The interface delivers an object/embed tag as CDATA for the integration a HTML page.

The "duration" attribute indicates the length of the clip.

Example when searching for hotel by name:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=xxx&pwd=xxx&show=ic,hn,vc,vn,txt&sc=search&hnt=Doganay

Example when using full text search:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=xxx&pwd=xxx&show=ic,hn,vc,vn,txt&sc=search&fts=beach

Example when searching a catalogue hotel ID:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=xxx&pwd=xxx&show=ic,hn,vn,ln,katid,kn&sc=hotel&khid=1552481

5.4.1. Substitute image clips

Delivery of substitute image clips when there is no original image clip for an offer.

Generally the substitute clip will use images of the same property taken from other catalogues.

Order of delivery:

  1. Original clip for an offer
  2. Substitute clip created from images of an offer with same provider and booking codes.
  3. Substitute clip created from images of an offer with the same provider code and GIATAID.

There are no substitute clips for special IDs and group IDs .

The "kind" attribute indicates whether a certain clip is either original or a substitute (kind="original|substitute").

In case of a substitute clip the "khid" indicates the internal ID of the subsitute offer.

Example for the request of a substitute clip when searching for hotel by name:

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=xxx&pwd=xxx&show=ics,hn,khid&sc=search&hnt=Fayna

5.4.2. List of clips

By calling

http://www.giata-xml.de/?uid=XX&pwd=XX&sc=list&list=imageclip

you can retrieve a list of GIATAIDs, each having at least one image clip.

5.4.3. Clip player

By default clips are provided within a standard player.

It is possible to create a custom player in your look & feel.

Please contact GIATA as we are glad to submit a price quotation.

6. The List Display in Detail
