info:
  title: Booking.com Connectivity Content OTA Legacy API
  description: The Booking.com Connectivity Content API enables Connectivity Partners to register properties and modify their content directly without using the Booking.com extranet. Partners can manage facilities, rates, rooms, photos, and other property details programmatically. This API uses XML request and response formats following the OpenTravel Alliance (OTA 2003B) specification and Booking.com's B.XML schema. It is designed for property management systems, channel managers, and other connectivity solutions that need to create and maintain property listings on Booking.com at scale. Booking.com is transitioning to modular REST APIs for property management.
