Agoda search
Resolve a hotel name to Agoda's numeric property identifier.
/v1/ota/agoda/searchThis uses Agoda's lightweight guest-facing suggestion endpoint. Add city to disambiguate common brands, then store recommended_match.property_id for room and rate-plan calls. It is null when only weak or ambiguous candidates were found.
