Sabre get hotels availability by just address SOAP API - soap

Question

i'm trying to request hotel availability (OTA_HotelAvailRQ) by just address
for example :
<OTA_HotelAvailRQ Version="2.3.0" xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<AvailRequestSegment>
<Customer>
<Corporate>
<ID>ABC123</ID>
</Corporate>
</Customer>
<GuestCounts Count="2"/>
<HotelSearchCriteria>
<Criterion>
<Address>
<CityName>SOUTHLAKE</CityName>
<CountryCode>US</CountryCode>
</Address>
</Criterion>
</HotelSearchCriteria>
<TimeSpan End="10-24" Start="10-22" />
</AvailRequestSegment>
</OTA_HotelAvailRQ>
and there is no way i get results in the response, i keep receiving:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap-env:Header><eb:MessageHeader xmlns:eb="http://www.ebxml.org/namespaces/messageHeader" eb:version="1.0" soap-env:mustUnderstand="1"><eb:From><eb:PartyId eb:type="urn:x12.org:IO5:01">ws</eb:PartyId></eb:From><eb:To><eb:PartyId eb:type="urn:x12.org:IO5:01">from</eb:PartyId></eb:To><eb:CPAId>3IHI</eb:CPAId><eb:ConversationId>998</eb:ConversationId><eb:Service eb:type="sabreXML">256444039988570150</eb:Service><eb:Action>OTA_HotelAvailLLSRS</eb:Action><eb:MessageData><eb:MessageId>1090003241665830150</eb:MessageId><eb:Timestamp>2017-08-31T06:42:46</eb:Timestamp></eb:MessageData></eb:MessageHeader><wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/12/secext"><wsse:BinarySecurityToken valueType="String" EncodingType="wsse:Base64Binary">Shared/IDL:IceSess\/SessMgr:1\.0.IDL/Common/!ICESMS\/ACPCRTD!ICESMSLB\/CRT.LB!-3237679358254869625!1952915!0</wsse:BinarySecurityToken></wsse:Security></soap-env:Header><soap-env:Body><OTA_HotelAvailRS xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:stl="http://services.sabre.com/STL/v01" Version="2.3.0">

i tried with the example in the sabre page by HotelCode and it worked, but i need to request it by just address, what should be the request design then? thank you

That fake corporate ID is not helping. You'd also need the city code.
Try with something like this:
<OTA_HotelAvailRQ Version="2.3.0" xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ReturnHostCommand="true">
<AvailRequestSegment>
<GuestCounts Count="2"/>
<HotelSearchCriteria>
<Criterion>
<Address>
<CityName>SOUTH LAKE</CityName>
<CountryCode>US</CountryCode>
</Address>
<HotelRef HotelCityCode="TVL"/>
</Criterion>
</HotelSearchCriteria>
<TimeSpan End="10-24" Start="10-22" />
</AvailRequestSegment>
</OTA_HotelAvailRQ>
Note the space in South Lake
If you need to get the city code from the city name, you can use EncodeDecodeLLSRQ:
<EncodeDecodeRQ xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="2.0.0">
<Encode>
<Address>
<CityName>south lake</CityName>
</Address>
</Encode>
</EncodeDecodeRQ>
<EncodeDecodeRS xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:stl="http://services.sabre.com/STL/v01" Version="2.0.0">
<stl:ApplicationResults status="Complete">
<stl:Success timeStamp="2017-09-05T11:35:59-05:00"/>
</stl:ApplicationResults>
<Text>TVL SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIFORNIA,USA</Text>
</EncodeDecodeRS>
