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 meal plan 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 meal plan (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.
