Trip API Concepts

Trips play a crucial role on our platform and the Trip APIs are frequently upgraded with new features. Therefore, it’s important to have the latest information about the request and response schema before starting to work with the Trip APIs.

This page will provide a more contextual understanding of selected Trip APIs and their fields, parameters, and functionalities.

Get trip details

To learn more about the response fields present in this API, see Get trip details.

Notes:

This page will only describe the most important fields in the API response. For example, details such as tripId are essential at every stage of the booking process. However, fields such as startDate , considered to be self explanatory, are not covered.

For a short description of every field in this API, view the Get trip details page.

basicTripInfo

Contains all the basic information related to a trip. The following are some of the nested fields present within the basicTripInfo object:

API Fields	Context
`tripId`	Contains the unique trip ID generated by Spotnana. Each booking made on Spotnana must either be associated with an existing `tripId` or have new `tripId` created for it.
`tripName`	A user-friendly trip name provided at the time of booking.

pnrs

An array object that contains the list of all PNR IDs created by Spotnana for the trip and the respective PNR data is stored in the data field. A trip can contain multiple PNR IDs and the booking data associated with each of them.

Note: The pnrs field in Get trip details API will contain all the PNRs and their relevant data. You can also access each individual PNR data using the Get PNR API.

The following are some of the data stored for a PNR. These fields can be found within pnrs > data:

API Fields	Context
`version`	Indicates the specific version of the PNR. The numerical value of the version will be incremented by 1 each time a PNR is updated.
`createdVia`	Specifies the mode of booking. This field can contain the following values: `OBT:` Indicates if the PNR was created via the Spotnana Online Booking Tool (OBT). `OFFLINE`: Indicates if the PNR was created offline by the travel agents on the supplier side. `SHELL`: Indicates if the PNR was created directly on a Global Distribution System (GDS). `PASSIVE`: Indicates if the PNR was created using the passive segment on a GDS. `API`: Indicates if the PNR was created using the Create PNR API.
`initialVersionCreatedVia`	Specifies the mode by which the initial PNR was created. For example, a travel agent could create a PNR on the airline website and then update the corresponding data in the Spotnana PNR. This would be stored as `initialVersionCreatedVia: OFFLINE` and `createdVia: OBT`.
`sourceInfo`	Contains information regarding the source of the booking. You can access the `sourcePnrId` of the booking within this field.
`pnrTravelers`	An array used to contain information about all the travelers associated with the `pnrId`. This field can contain traveler-related information such as user ID, personal information, persona, applicable loyalties, and business information about the traveler.
`invoiceDelayedBooking`	Indicates if the booking has been made using the delayed invoice feature.
`costOfGoodsSold`	The total cost of goods sold charged by the supplier for the inventory booked.
`costToCustomer`	Total cost to customer charged by the Travel Management Company (TMC). This field will only contain information if the TMC charges an additional service fee for the booking. If the TMC doesn’t charge any service fee, the `costToCustomer` field will be empty.
`airPnr`	If the PNR is for an air booking, the `airPnr` object will hold all its relevant information.
`totalFare`	The total fare of a PNR. The `totalFare` > `currencyCode` indicates the currency in which the supplier has charged for your booking. If you’ve paid for the booking in a different currency, then the `convertedAmount` and `convertedCurrency` will reflect the converted amount and the currency code in which you’ve paid.
`serviceFees`	The service fee charged for the PNR. The service fee can also be included as part of the delayed invoice which can be identified by `serviceFees` > `status`.
`paymentInfo`	Detailed information about the list of all payment methods used for the booking and the fare breakdown for each payment method. This field also contains the refund fare breakdown for each form of payments used.
`bookingHistory`	Holds the list of updates made to a booking. The `bookingHistory` > `bookingInfo` > `status` field contains the type of change made to the booking (e.g., booked, exchanged, updated, or cancelled). The `bookingHistory` > `bookerInfo` > `role` field indicates if the booking/update is made by the traveler, agent, travel manager, or others. If the booker role is not specified the `role` field will contain `UNKNOWN_ROLE`.
