Property resources
The Product API request enables you to read property-level information. The Product API response is transmitted through a synchronous connection to update the property’s system with the status of the Product API request. If a connectivity problem or another issue occurs, an error code will be returned that indicates what issue occurred.
Product API is RESTful and all requests and responses must be sent over a secure connection. All request and response bodies, including errors are encoded in JSON.
To facilitate integrating with Product API, Expedia Group offers a Swagger JSON file file documenting Product API’s model and operations.

This section contains examples on how to query the property resource of the product API.
The property read function allows you to retrieve several important settings related to your properties’ configuration in Expedia Group’s system. Some of these settings will help you better understand how to manage room type and rate plan resources.
It also enables you to find out which properties are currently assigned to your accounts, by simply calling the /properties endpoint and iterating through all the properties returned.
Single property read
Request is a simple HTTP GET:
GET https://services.expediapartnercentral.com/products/properties/2268140
Content-Type: application/vnd.expedia.eps.product-v2+json
Accept: application/vnd.expedia.eps.product-v2+json
Authorization: Basic [your encoded username:password in base64]
Response:
1{2 "entity": {3 "resourceId": 2268140,4 "name": "Eslington Villa",5 "parnerCode": "ABC123",6 "status": "Active",7 "currency": "GBP",8 "address": {9 "line1": "199 Some Street",10 "line2": null,11 "city": "Glasgow",12 "state": null,13 "postalCode": "12345",14 "countryCode": "GBR"15 },16 "distributionModels": [17 "ExpediaCollect",18 "HotelCollect"19 ],20 "rateAcquisitionType": "SellLAR",21 "taxInclusive": true,22 "pricingModel": "PerDayPricing",23 "baseAllocationEnabled": false,24 "cancellationTime": "18:00",25 "timezone": "(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London",26 "reservationCutOff": {27 "time": "05:00",28 "day": "nextDay"29 },30 "allowedAgeCategories": [31 "Adult",32 "ChildAgeA",33 "Infant"34 ]35 }36}
Multiple properties read
When using GET for multiple properties, additional parameters can be provided to navigate through the result set. By default, only 20 properties are returned at a time. If you have more than 20 properties assigned to your accounts and want to get through all your properties, you have to use offset and limit parameters. For example, if you want to get 3 results at a time would do a request like this:
GET https://services.expediapartnercentral.com/products/properties?offset=0&limit=3
Content-Type: application/vnd.expedia.eps.product-v2+json
Accept: application/vnd.expedia.eps.product-v2+json
Authorization: Basic [your encoded username:password in base64]
The Product API will sort all properties assigned to this account by resourceId, ascending, and return the 3 lowest property resource IDs.

You can then iterate through your properties by increasing the offset parameter. To get the next 3 properties, you would issue a GET with offset=3, limit=3:
GET https://services.expediapartnercentral.com/products/properties?offset=3&limit=3
To get the next results, offset would become 6:
GET https://services.expediapartnercentral.com/products/properties?offset=6&limit=3
