Overview

Travelgate's Business Model​

Travelgate's pull API business model and its responses are fundamentally centered around the concept of options. These options serve as comprehensive "packages," encapsulating all pertinent information required for a Buyer to understand and confirm a booking.

Each option provides crucial details, including:

  • Price: The total cost associated with the option.
  • Policies: All relevant policies, such as cancellation deadlines and values.
  • Board Information: Details about the board included.

Structure of Options​

Options are hierarchically structured to provide granular details about the booking. Below "options," you'll find:

Boards: Every option is associated with a single board. This node contains information such as:

  • Code: A unique identifier for the board.
  • Name: The descriptive name of the board (e.g., "Full Board," "Half Board").
  • Rooms: Information about the rooms included within this specific board.

Rooms: Each board can include one or more rooms. The room node provides essential details, such as:

  • Code: A unique identifier for the room type.
  • Name: The descriptive name of the room (e.g., "Double Room," "Suite").
  • Room Information: Additional specifics about the room's features and capacity. This structured approach ensures that all necessary information is clearly presented, enabling buyers to make informed booking decisions.

Booking Workflow​

The Booking workflow consists of all operations required to perform booking. It ensures seamless communication between buyers and suppliers, enabling real-time searches, quotes and bookings. These operations form the backbone of the integration, allowing buyers to access supplier data in a standardized format.

All these operations can be implemented in the connector, providing flexibility and scalability to meet varying supplier and Buyer requirements.
