Hotel Pull Sellers Generic API Certification

deprecated API

The Legacy Pull Sellers API was our first Sellers API, launched back in 2012. It is now deprecated and should not be further developed. Since then, we have launched a new Pull Sellers API, in which Travelgate currently plays a proactive role in developing API integrations on behalf of the Seller.

Ensuring that our Partners fully understand our API, can make good use of it and that the information transmitted is correct is essential for a successful collaboration. That's why all the Partners connecting to our Platform are required to pass a certification process, whether they are buying or selling in our Marketplace.

When should I apply for certification?✔️​

You should apply once you've finished the Hotel Pull Sellers Generic API development.

How is it the certification structured?💡​

The certification for the Hotel Pull Sellers Generic API is divided into three main blocks:

  1. Static content
  2. Booking Flow
  3. Booking Management

What we will be checking?🔎​

The Hotel Pull Sellers Generic API Certification aims to test and verify the following information:

  1. Usage of general data structure of our API.
  2. Correct application of the mandatory content methods: Configuration, Geographic DestinationTree, HotelList, Descriptive Info, RoomList, MealPlanList, CategoryList and MetaData
  3. Correct application of the Booking Flow and Management methods: Avail, Valuation, Reservation, ReservationRead, ReservationList and Cancel.
  4. The correct application of different distributions, mealplans, arrival and departure dates.
  5. The correct handling of payment types and prices (net, gross, commission, minimum selling price).
  6. The correct application of possible cancellation policies.
  7. Error codes.

What information do I need to provide?💡​

In order for us to be able to test and certify the integration, we will need you to provide the Hotel Pull Sellers Generic API template file - The Certification File includes 6 sheets with several scenarios for every method (different distributions, duration, cancel policies, etc.):

  1. Availability
  2. Valuation
  3. Reservation
  4. Cancellation
  5. ReservationRead and ReservationList
  6. Static data
