Search Hotels - Detail Levels

The Detail Level field is used to set which level of details will returned in Search Hotels response.
The different detail levels are :

JSON ValueXML Value
0Default
1Low
2Minimal
3NoPackages
4Meta
5LowNoTax
6MetaAdvanced
7MetaNoTax
8NoPackagesNoTax
9MetaExtended

👍

NOTE:

  • Using the first three DetailLevels: Default, Low, or Minimal:
    Gets all data in the search results, and by using these options, there is no need to call GetPackages. Doing this is unrecommended as it is very resource consuming and bandwidth-heavy, as all the packages show up in the search results.
  • Feel free to try the different detail levels and see what works best for your specific situation and users.
    However, if you just want to get started, we recommend using:
    1. MetaExtended - as it is lightweight and returns all of the commonly needed fields. (Without Hotel data)
    2. MetaAdvanced - In case you need the Hotel data in the Search response.
