Welcome to the TravelCaster API documentation
Flights API
The Flights API is the core of the TravelCaster integration. It covers the full booking lifecycle: searching for fares across multiple providers, confirming prices, creating bookings, managing seats and ancillaries, issuing tickets, and handling cancellations. It also exposes retrieval and reporting operations for back-office use.
For more information, see the Flights API documentation.
Fulfillment API
The Fulfillment API, available from version 1.7, provides post-ticketing operations for exchanges and refunds. It allows you to search for alternative flights for an existing booking and execute the exchange, as well as preview and process refunds.
For more information, see the Fulfillment API documentation.
Reports API
The Reports API provides access to booking and ticketing event data for reconciliation and back-office reporting. Three delivery formats are available: webhook push (ReportBO), scheduled XML pulls (ReportXML), and NIR format (ReportNIR).
For more information, see the Reports API documentation.
