The supplier sends this message about the closures which are applied by the structures. The query type (type) is set to getclousure.
This call returns normal closures (stop sell) and closures on departure (checkoutonly). Closures on arrival (checkinonly) are not returned here, whether they were set through the channel manager or through the extranet: they are returned only by getclousuretoarrival.
Below you can see the fields you can find in the message body and their meanings.
startdate
first day of the period requested
days
number of days. (You can add this number to the start date to get the end of the period. If these two dates correspond this value is set to 0).
Let’s see an example of message the client could send.

The reply message contains, after tag response, one date element for each period of consecutive days with the same closure terms, limited to the period requested. When a normal closure and a closure on departure apply to the same day, they are returned as separate date elements.
date
startdate
first closing day
days
number of days. (You can add this number to the start date to get the end of the period. If these two dates correspond this value is set to 0)
roomtype
closure terms for each room type (Y closed, N open). Room types not enabled on the agreement are always returned as N
onrequest and freesale are read-only: they are not accepted by setclousure.
Let’s see an example of message the client could receive: on 2022-12-25 and 2022-12-26 the double room has a normal closure, and all room types have a closure on departure.
