HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) is a OTA headquartered in Germany. Vervotech connects to its HRS API and maps every property to canonical IDs, so you call HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) alongside 81+ other suppliers through one REST endpoint.
Hand-rolling the HRS API integration takes weeks: XML schema mapping, content normalization, ID reconciliation against every other supplier you already ship. Vervotech does that work once, and keeps it fresh.

HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) XML API, translated to REST
Most legacy hotel supplier APIs, including HRS (Hotel Reservation Service), expose XML over SOAP or plain HTTPS POST. Every field is nested inside supplier-specific elements, dates are in supplier-specific formats, and rate rules are buried inside repeating groups you have to unwind before you can even read them.
Vervotech reads the HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) XML directly, parses the schema, normalizes fields to a canonical JSON model, and exposes the result as a single REST endpoint. You never touch the XML. If the HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) schema changes, we absorb the change on our side without breaking your integration.
- No SOAP envelopes, no XML namespaces, no XSD parsing on your side
- Canonical hotel and room IDs across every supplier you connect
- Currency, language, and date fields already unified
- Rate rules, cancellation policies, and inclusions flattened into readable JSON
Common use cases
- OTAs consolidating wholesale + direct + bedbank inventory into a single searchable index
- Travel agencies looking for best-rate retrieval across multiple suppliers in <500ms
- Corporate booking tools standardizing on a single hotel ID schema across vendors
- Hotel rate intelligence platforms tracking competitor pricing across distribution channels
- Tour operators packaging hotel + flight + activity with deduplicated property catalogs
Frequently asked questions
What is the HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) hotel API?

How does Vervotech integrate with HRS (Hotel Reservation Service)?
- Vervotech ingests HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) on a daily refresh, normalizes the schema, and maps every property to canonical hotel IDs that match all your other suppliers. You hit one REST endpoint instead of integrating HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) directly.
How long does a HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) integration take through Vervotech?
- Most customers are live in days, not weeks. There is no XML mapping work and no per-supplier ID reconciliation, because Vervotech already maintains the canonical schema across 400+ suppliers.
Does the HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) XML API expose all inventory that the REST API returns?
- Vervotech reads directly from HRS (Hotel Reservation Service)'s primary API feed, so you get the same static content, live rates, availability, and booking capabilities you would get integrating the HRS (Hotel Reservation Service) XML natively. The difference is you consume it as REST JSON, and the same request pattern works across every other supplier in your stack.

- Vervotech absorbs the schema change on our side. Your integration keeps working. Our team maintains the schema-to-canonical mapping continuously, which is the single largest hidden cost in every in-house XML API integration.
