determining the location of a deal (specfically in the case of travel deals)

[Dan]

I'd like to identify the location of a travel deal accurately but don't know which attribute to rely on. When I look at the JSON in the response I notice the location in the following locations

division -> name
business -> location -> smart_locality
business -> location -> locality

The three are often identical but there are a few cases where the locality attribute is more precise. For example locality reads Sedona (and corresponds with the zip code) while the name attribute reads AZ.

There are a few cases where locality and smart_locality are empty while the name attribute has a value.

Which is the most accurate and reliable attribute for determining location of a deal?

cheers

In terms of breadth, division is best. Not every deal will have a business location associated with it.

thanks. What the API definition for those fields - when all three exist but are different is one considered the most precise?

One other question. Are there any plans to expose the fine print for travel deals in the API? I am specifically interested in extracting things like blackout dates and so on?

cheers

No current plans to add fine print. However, I've added this to a list of requests. We typically prioritize these based on how often these features/additions are requested.
