Hotel Release Notes

Travelport is updating the authentication and authorization endpoints for all JSON APIs and providing new credentials. All customers either already have received or will receive new credentials and have or will be migrated to the new endpoints. If your company has not yet migrated to new credentials, continue to use your existing credentials and endpoints. See Authentication for migration details.

This topic lists the Travelport JSON Hotel APIs releases for 2025. See Archived Release Notes for releases from previous years.

Passive segments support | 1 Jul 2025

Adds the following new APIs to support creating and managing passive segments:

A passive hotel segment is any segment that was made using anything other than the JSON APIs. Passive segments are informational only. They do not result in a reservation or a change in inventory. Information on a passive segment is not received from or passed to the hotel supplier. Instead, passive segments provide a way to consolidate all booking information, including details from direct hotel bookings or even phone reservations.

Passive segments can also be placeholders, used to hold dates or to create a retention segment, which keeps a booking active in the system.

For more about passive segments, see the Passive Segments Guide.
