Update schedule
It is crucial for the performance to always have the most recent data on Holidu.
This is especially true for availabilities since they change quite often.
We therefore recommend different update schedules for the different endpoints. These are all recommendations, but please note that if you don't provide updates for an apartments - either availabilities or the apartment itself - within 14 days, Holidu will mark the apartments as deleted and remove them from our website.
Automatic Process to Delete Properties Without Update
If we do not receive any update for a property for more than 14 days, we will consider the property as "dead" and stop displaying it on Holidu to avoid displaying outdated data. This means that you need to target at least one endpoint for each of your properties every 14 days.
| Endpoint | Recommended Interval |
|---|---|
| Apartment (and related) | Only provide updates if something changed for the apartment, e.g. either you got more reviews, want to set the apartment as inactive, have more picture etc. |
| Availability/LOS | As soon as something changed (booking, cancellation) and at least once a week even if nothing has changed to make sure we have always the most up to date data and don't delete the apartment because of inactivity. |
| Rates | Only necessary if something has been changed |
| Discounts | Only necessary if something has been changed |
If you want to remove an apartment from Holidu please push it at least once with "active":false. This way we will remove it immediately. If you just stop pushing this apartment it will stay online for at least 10 days and can harm your performance.
