FastX Content

FastX codes are unique identifiers created by Travelgate to make connectivity across the Marketplace easier and more efficient.
They represent a unified way to identify hotels, boards, and rooms, so you can work with multiple Suppliers using a single, consistent set of codes.

As a Buyer, you only need to map to the FastX codes — once you do, you can seamlessly access and book content from any connected Supplier without having to remap each one individually.

To make mapping even easier, FastX codes are available in GIATA under the name "travelgate". This means that if you already use GIATA, integrating with Travelgate becomes even simpler — everything aligns smoothly.

The sections below explain how FastX codes work and how you can retrieve them through our API.

Hotels

There are two ways to obtain FastX hotel codes via Hotel-X API:

1. FastX Hotel Master

This is a single call that returns the master list of FastX hotels available to you in the Travelgate Marketplace. It includes all unique hotels offered by the Sellers you are connected to. As you add new Sellers, any new properties they provide — not already offered by your other connected Suppliers — are automatically included in your master list.

To retrieve it, make a hotel list call using your FastX access, which you can find in the MyConnections section under the Seller “Travelgate”.

You can also receive the GIATA code associated with each hotel if you have activated this functionality.

2. Hotel List by Supplier

Travelgate maintains full transparency. In addition to FastX codes, you can also access each Supplier’s static data. When you make a hotel list call to a specific Supplier access, you’ll receive:

• The Supplier’s hotel code (in the hotelCode object) and hotel information.
• The Supplier’s native hotel code (in the hotelCodeSupplier object).
• The FastX hotel code in the mappings node.
• The GIATA code, if you have activated this functionality.

This allows you to keep your systems synchronized with both the standardized FastX codes and each Supplier’s own identifiers.

Boards

To get the list of FastX boards, make a boards call using your FastX access (available in MyConnections under “Travelgate”). This will return the complete set of meal plans you’ll encounter in the booking flow — all identified with standardized FastX codes and names.

Rooms

With FastX, room standardization happens at search time. There is no static room list.

For each availability response, Travelgate analyzes the Supplier's native room description with an AI-based process. The model detects room components and then generates a single FastX standardized description and code.

Detected components:

• Category (Standard, Deluxe, Basic, etc.)
• Type (Room, Studio, Apartment, etc.)
• Capacity (Single, Twin, Double, Triple, etc.)
• Environment (Shared Bed, Women Only, etc.)
• View (Ocean, Sea, Park, Garden, etc.)
• Features (Jacuzzi, Air Conditioning, Kitchenette, etc.)
• Beds (Queen, Double, King, etc.)
• Bedrooms (1, 2, 3, etc.)

As a Buyer, in every search response you receive both:

• The Supplier's original room description and code
• The FastX standardized room description and code

This gives you the best of both worlds:

• Consistency across Suppliers with one unified room naming logic
• Less mapping effort in your internal systems
• Easier comparison and deduplication when different Suppliers describe the same room in different ways
• Full transparency by preserving each Supplier's original data

Example: Different Supplier descriptions can be standardized into the same FastX room name.

warning

Room standardization is generated in real time and is not Seller-validated. This differs from entities such as hotel and board, which can be Seller-validated when using validated mode.
