PropertyHub is a facilitator for unique global property identifiers that provides a free API for individual property usage and charges nominal fees for API calls by businesses. It uses a proprietary mapping algorithm and REST API to upload, retrieve, and edit property data based on OTA standards. The team includes experienced developers and a product manager seeking to provide an easy-to-use alternative to existing property data distribution options that are outdated, limited, or require upfront payments.
