Definitions

The Services Feed specification is defined in the following protocol buffer format. However, we recommend you to upload the feeds in JSON format. For more information, see JSON sample feeds.

Services Feed definition

The Services Feed contains the FeedMetadata object and the service array.

Service definition

// The definition of a service provided by a merchant.
message Service {
  // An opaque string from an aggregator partner which uniquely identifies a
  // merchant. (required)
  string merchant_id = 1;

  // An opaque string from an aggregator partner which uniquely identifies the
  // service.
  // Dining Reservations only supports 1 service per merchant.
  // Do not use URIs (required)
  string service_id = 2;

  // The name of the service. Deprecated. Please use localized_service_name.

  // The name of the service, e.g. "Men's haircut". Possibly in several locales.
  // Do not include pricing details or experience
  // (required)

  // The description of the product. Limited formatting options are allowed in
  // the HTML format. Supported tags:
  //   * h1-h5
  //   * ul, ol, li
  //   * strong, italic, em
  //   * p, br
  // Other tags are not supported and will be removed. CSS, tables, style
  // property, `a` links are not supported. Images are not allowed, use the
  // related_media field instead.
  // Important notes:
  //   * Try not to use other tags except for the supported ones mentioned
  //     above, because the contents within unsupported tags will be stripped,
  //     and may lead to an undesirable user experience.
  //   * Try avoid deep nested structures like more than 3 different heading
  //     levels or nested lists. Keeping the structure flat, simple, and
  //     straightforward, helps to create a better user experience.
  //   * Do not duplicate info from the product_features field below in the
  //     description as both would normally be shown side by side.
  // Recommended to not exceed length of 10000 in any language. Max length:
  // 16000.

// content.

  // Required. Text value in an unknown locale, which will be displayed if

  // when the availability slot starts or ends.

  // (<slot start time> - "min_advance_booking").
  // If "min_booking_buffer_before_end_time" is set, the last bookable time is
  // calculated as (<slot end time> - "min_booking_buffer_before_end_time").
  // Note that the value of "min_booking_buffer_before_end_time" must be
  // positive if set.
  // If both are unset, the slot is bookable until the slot begin time. If both
  // fields are set, only one value will be picked while the other value
  // ignored--we cannot reliably predict which value is chosen.
  //
  // Examples:
  //  * A haircut that needs to be booked at least 1 hour before the start time.
  //      'scheduling_rules{ min_advance_booking: 3600 ...}`
  //
  //  * A museum where the last ticket can be purchased 30 mins before closing:
  //     'scheduling_rules{ min_booking_buffer_before_end_time: 1800 ...}'

    //     at the start time, and returns at around 12pm.
