1. Download using API / Incremental Update (Recommended) 

Vervotech Provides JSON-based APIs to download curated Content as well as all mappings. Our APIs allow you to download mappings incrementally. That means every time you download mappings, you need to pass the timestamp of when you downloaded mappings last time and APIs give you newly added, updated, and deleted mappings after that time stamp.

There are separate APIs for getting newly added mappings, updated mappings & deleted mappings.  Below is the API documentation for Hotel Mapping based on their versions - 

The frequency to take updates from Vervotech for mappings and content is at the client’s discretion. Vervotech recommends clients update mappings daily so that updates are reflected on your website faster.
