# Modify a property's facilities

The `OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif` (HDCN) endpoint is now under deprecation
The `OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif` (HDCN) endpoint was deprecated in December 2024. We will fully sunset this endpoint on **December 31, 2026**. For more information on the deprecation and sunsetting timeline, see [OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif (HDCN) endpoint in Content API](/connectivity/docs/deprecation-policy/deprecation-and-sunsetting#ota_hoteldescriptivecontentnotif-hdcn-endpoint-in-content-api).

We strongly encourage you to transition to our new modular APIs at your earliest convenience. These modern APIs are designed for straightforward integration and unlock a range of functionalities. To learn more, see our guide on [Making property onboarding easier](https://connectivity.booking.com/s/solution-article/content-api-modernisation-MCP2RH5PDI6VHN5HU3ECL2FER2TY?language=en_US).

Use the `OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif` endpoint to add or modify a property's facility details such as gyms, restaurants, swimming pools or others.

## Before you start

Before adding or editing a property's facilities information, use the `OTA_HotelDescriptiveInfo` endpoint to retrieve the existing amenities/facilities details.
For more information, see [Retrieving a property's details](/connectivity/docs/tsk-retrieve-property).

Make sure to add the existing amenity codes along with the new amenity codes when calling the `OTA_HotelDescriptiveContentNotif` endpoint.

Exercise caution while using the Overlay mode
Content API uses an overlay system. Every time you update
an existing property, room type, or other object, the
body of your request replaces whatever information was
stored in our servers at that time. **This means existing
information may be deleted if you don't include it in your
request.**

To update an object without deleting information, make sure
your request contains both the fields you want to update and
those you want to keep the same. Copy/paste sample requests
from this page at your own risk.

You need:

* [property ID](/connectivity/docs/tsk-create-property)
