Document History retrieves the history of all documents associated with a record locator code. This request can retrieve this information even after the booking and tickets are purged from the airline's database. You can request documents by any of the following:

  • Record locator: Returns all documents associated with that locator

  • Document type: Returns all documents of the specified type/s

  • Document number: Returns history of the specified document/s only

The response can return the following types of documents as applicable and as requested:

The JSON Air APIs provide the following APIs to retrieve bookings and tickets:

  • To retrieve all booking details, use Reservation Retrieve. Returns all booking, payment, and ticketing information currently on a booking,

  • To retrieve a list of all ticket numbers on a reservation, use Ticket List.

  • To retrieve details for all tickets associated with a record locator (GDS only), or for a single ticket for NDC, use Ticket Retrieve.

  • To return a list of documents on a booking, including tickets, invoices, MCOs, and EMDs, use Document List.

  • To return histories of up to six documents on with a booking, including tickets, invoices, MCOs, and EMDs, use Document History.
