Bulk-load and incrementally sync static Hotelbeds hotel content (descriptions, images, facilities) via the Content API, kept separate from the Booking API's live pricing/availability.

Steps

1. Authenticate every request with an Api-key header plus an X-Signature header — a SHA256 hex digest of (Api-Key + Secret + current Unix timestamp in seconds) — against the test endpoint https://api.test.hotelbeds.com.
2. Paginate through GET /hotel-content-api/1.0/hotels?fields=all&language=ENG&from=1&to=1000 in batches of up to 1000 hotels (from/to) to bootstrap your local content database.
3. Also pull the companion master-data operations you need to resolve coded fields returned in the Hotels response: Countries, Destinations, Rooms, Boards, Accommodations, Categories, Chains, Facilities, Facility Groups, Issues, Languages, Promotions, Segments, Images.
4. Repeat the whole load once per language you support, since descriptive text fields are language-dependent.
5. For ongoing sync, call the Hotels endpoint again (recommended daily) adding &lastUpdateTime=<date> to fetch only hotels changed since that date instead of a full re-pull.
6. Keep this static data in your own store and get dynamic data (prices, availability, cancellation policies, fees) only from the separate Booking API — never call the Content API in real time per booking request.
