Hotelbeds PHP API - 如何获得每日房价？

Question

I am working with Hotelbeds APItude PHP API to find out the information of available hotel rooms.

Well, I am able to get all information of available hotels through the documentation

But, I am facing problem with getting daily rate of all available hotel rooms.

There is an option in documentation to send request attribute for getting daily rate of each room. Here is the request attribute -

availabilityRQ/@dailyRate -- Boolean -- Optional -- Display the rate day-by-day

dailyRate is an boolean value that confirms is the API ll send back daily rate info (I think so far).

So, in implementation, I send following request parameter -

                    $rqData = new \hotelbeds\hotel_api_sdk\helpers\Availability();
                $rqData->stay = new Stay(DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d", "2016-09-01"),
                    DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d", "2016-09-10"));

                $rqData->hotels = ["hotel" => [1067, 1070,]];

                //                    $rqData->destination = new Destination("PMI");
                $occupancy = new Occupancy();
                $occupancy->adults = 2;
                $occupancy->children = 1;
                $occupancy->rooms = 1;

                $occupancy->paxes = [new Pax(Pax::AD, 30, "Mike", "Doe"), new Pax(Pax::AD, 27, "Jane", "Doe"), new Pax(Pax::CH, 8, "Mack", "Doe")];
                $rqData->occupancies = [$occupancy];

                $rqData->dailyRate = TRUE;

                $availRS = $apiClient->Availability($rqData);

I checked, everything work fine except the $rqData->dailyRate = TRUE; parameter.

I get following error -

Bad Request: The request is not compliant with the specified version of the API. Error at property dailyRate: Can not construct instance of boolean from String value 'Y': only "true" or "false" recognized

I think, I am missing something like creating boolean parameter for the dailyRate attribute.

How can I solve the issue?

This looks like a bug with their public API or their PHP library. File a bug report.

class Availability extends ApiHelper. class ApiHelper extends DataContainer.

In DataContainer, if (is_bool($item)) return $item ? "Y" : "N";.

https://github.com/hotelbeds-sdk/hotel-api-sdk-php/blob/56b4621bbf488a878f1eb1a194f6a63d928dc9db/src/generic/DataContainer.php#L105

Their DataContainer.php in their library casts boolean values to Y or N. As such, when you do your API request - any values which are true/false get converted to Y/N.

But their API requires true/false.
