The `OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo` (HDI) endpoint is now under deprecation for Home providers
The `OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo` (HDI) endpoint was deprecated for Home providers in December 2024. We will sunset this endpoint for Home providers on **December 31, 2026**. For more information on the deprecation and sunsetting timeline, see [OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo (HDI) endpoint in Content API](/connectivity/docs/deprecation-policy/deprecation-and-sunsetting#ota_hoteldescriptiveinfo-hdi-endpoint-in-content-api-for-home-providers).

We strongly encourage Home providers to implement new modular APIs at their earliest convenience, which will enable them to retrieve relevant property information using the `GET` method.

To learn more about our new modular APIs, see our guide on [Making property onboarding easier](https://connectivity.booking.com/s/solution-article/content-api-modernisation-MCP2RH5PDI6VHN5HU3ECL2FER2TY?language=en_US).
