Third-party inventory properties (TPI)
| Addition | Net rates | New TPI rates | Available to pilot partners
In addition to Sell rates, the Demand API now supports Net rates for third-party inventory properties. These rates can be identified in search and availability responses by checking the
inventory_type
field.
- It indicates the applied rate (e.g., "sell" or "net").
Example of accommodations/search response:
"third_party_inventory": true,
"inventory": {
"third_party": true,
"type": "net"
}
