Data


The ParrAPI allows distributors to extract tourism information from the ParrAPI database. The database contains over 10,000 tourism related listings across a variety of categories. The API allows for geospatial searching of the data and allows filtering using the ParrAPI content structure.

At a high level the content can be broken down into categories. These include Accommodation, Attractions, Events, Tours, Destination Information, etc.

Each of these categories can also be split into classifications aka product types. As an example Accommodation has the classifications like Bed and Breakfast, Gueshouses, Hotels, etc.

Each listings has associated attributes to allow the distributors to find listings with specific criteria. There are hundreds of different attributes but as an example you may find products with a cafe attribute or a camping attribute.
