Hotel Ads Schemas

Before submitting your feeds to Google, you should validate them with one of the following methods:

The following table lists the available schemas that you can use to validate your feeds against:

Schema (Download)	Schema (Location)
Hint Response	`https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/hint.xsd`
Point of Sale	`https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/point_of_sale.xsd`
Query	`https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/query.xsd`
Rate Types	`https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/rate_types.xsd`
Transaction	`https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/transaction.xsd`

To validate your files with these schemas, you can use a third-party XML tool such as xmllint.

The syntax for using xmllint to validate a schema is as follows:

$ xmllint --schema schema_location file_to_validate

The following example validates the mypriceupdates.xml file against the Transaction message schema:

$ xmllint --schema https://www.gstatic.com/ads-travel/hotels/api/transaction.xsd mypriceupdates.xml
