1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first content platform that provides access to content items administered by a first provider, an access token from a second content platform administered by a second provider, wherein the access token enables access to the second content platform by the first content platform for retrieving content items from the second content platform;
determining whether the second content platform corresponds to the second provider, wherein the second provider is different than the first provider;
determining access parameters that comprise the access token, wherein at least one access parameter comprises calendar data indicating a start time and a duration that the second content platform is accessible via the first content platform;
identifying a passenger transportation carrier associated with the calendar data;
receiving updated calendar data that indicates either the start time or the duration, defined by the access parameters that comprise the access token, are changed;
updating the access parameters that comprise the access token based on the updated calendar data; and
modifying access to the second content platform by the first content platform based on an updated access token comprising the updated access parameters.
