Data reading
============

The method allows WuBook to read the hotel rooms data from the channel extranet. This method is used by WuBook before
each update call in order to avoid to send any redundant information.
The following note could sound obvious, but it is very important to remind that for a certain period after any update,this service 
returns the same exact values that have previously been updated.

  if the channel only manages one price per rate.

**NOT MANDATORY FIELDS**

A missing attribute can have two possible meanings:
   1. the attribute is not supported by Channel. In this case WooDoo should be informed about the list of
      attributes not supported by the Channel.
   2. the attribute value has never been set on the Channel that doesn't have a default value,so it is necessary to be set by
      the Channel manager for the first time.

**ROOM-RATE LEVEL AVAILABILITY**

If your property model can manage availability at room-rate level (it means that for every room the user can
set different and independent availability for different rates), the json structure shown above is modified
as follows: the **“availability”** key is moved from must contain also the **“rate_id”** key.
For example: ::

  ...
  "2014-12-01": {
          "rates": [
               {
               "availability": 5,
               "rate_id": "111",
               "closed": false,
               "cta": false,
               "ctd": false,
               "minstay": 0,
               "maxstay": 0,
               "minstayarr": 0,
               "maxstayarr": 0,
               "prices": [
                   {
                   "occupancy": 1,

                   },
                   {
                   "occupancy": 2,
                   "price": 300.00
                   }
                   ],
