promotions query

Retrieves information about a single property's promotions. You can retrieve all active promotions for a property, or you can retrieve a single promotion. Each promotion has an assigned promotion ID that can be used for subsequent management.

Information is returned at the property level, not the unit level.

Note: The promotions query is nested under the property query, which provides access to other capabilities, such as property status and reservations. However, you must be granted access to each capability before you can code to it. Contact your Technical Account Manager if you are interested in more than promotions.

Syntax

1query {
2  property(
3    id: String!, 
4    idSource: IdSource
5  ) 
6  {
7    promotions(
8      pageSize: Int!, 
9      after: String, 
10      filter: FiltersInput
11    ): Promotions!
12  }
13}

Examples

Use the interactive GraphQL explorer in the following sections to run a sample query. A test property ID is passed into the explorer; its test data is returned. The GraphQL explorer will help you get comfortable with the GraphQL:

  • For each query, a test property ID is passed into the explorer; its test data is returned.
  • Click Run Query to execute the query in the explorer on the page. You can modify the query to retrieve the desired fields, and the explorer provides a list of fields when you start typing.
  • Click API Explorer to launch the full explorer in another tab/window, which provides syntax highlighting, schema introspection, real-time error highlighting, and auto-completion, among other things.
