Added a ‘Provider Group ID’ field to the Units resource of the SightMap REST API.

The SightMap REST API now supports a ‘Provider Group ID’ field on the ‘Units’ resource. This enables partners to pass and retrieve PMS ‘Unit Type’ IDs/ Codes that a unit maps to. 

What’s changing?

A new ‘Provider Group ID’ field has been added across all endpoints in the Units resource of the SightMap REST API. This includes support for passing ‘Provider Group ID’ in relevant POST and PUT requests, as well as inclusion of the field in API responses.

The goal of this new is to bridge a data gap between SightMap and PMS providers that use a ‘Unit Type’ concept that sits between Units and Floor Plans. This field provides a way to store and reference a provider-specific grouping identifier for each unit

What to expect:

API consumers can now store, update, and retrieve a ‘Provider Group ID’ for Units through the SightMap REST API. This improves compatibility with providers that rely on a Unit Type or similar grouping structure and makes it easier to map unit records to provider-side grouping IDs.
