*NEW: Postman API Examples

*StatelessSearch:

DO NOT USE THIS SEARCH TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING SUPPORT TEAM FIRST!

Intended to be used by clients with high traffic or for clients with a unique search to book flow.

*GeoLocationInfo and general search recommendations:

 

1. You can now search using Latitude /Longitude + Radius (up to 75km) - as an alternative to HotelLocation search.

2. You can now search using HotelIds only (Max 3000, no matter if supplier supports search by single hotel or not, we are making the conversion on our side and you will receive the relevant results). You should now STOP sending requests that contain BOTH HotelId and HotelLocation.

3. Please do not use GeoLocationInfo search along with HotelId as this search is invalid. GeoLocation search can be used alone.


Please make sure you understand what is a session and how to handle it, as explained in the Login & Session Management.

Please be advised: You can proceed with the hotels booking process (hotel/package details, cancellation policy, payment pref, booking) only for items returned in the last search response of your current session.
