Hello,
I'm working on a new PMS and would like to use putInventories API to update multiple rooms availability over multiple properties - I already tested the multiple property part, the API supports it just fine.
My question is - is there a limit to the size of XML or number of fields i can change at once etc?
Also, does the XML API share the same limit as JSON API (60 requests over 5 minutes)? When can I assume the connection stale (timeout)?
Thanks

The API limits apply to all access's by an account to any endpoints regardless of it being XML or JSON type.
The XML endpoints are depreciated so I would advise looking at the JSON endpoints for any new development.

This document has more information about designing a connection which may be helpful.

Thank you, I am aware of JSON API and would prefer using it, but there seems to be no way to set multiple rooms - and the limit adds up quickly over multiple rooms. Is there a way to send an entire array of rooms using JSON API?

The JSON function to update price and availability accepts one room per call
