Travelport has updated all JSON API authentication and authorization endpoints. The previous pre-production endpoints were deprecated 5 Dec 2025. The previous production endpoints are scheduled for deprecation 30 Jan 2026. API transactions in those environments will fail if using these endpoints after these dates. See Endpoint Migration for details.

The Ticket Retrieve request returns details for a single ticket for NDC, or for all tickets associated with a record locator for GDS.

Although the JSON Ticket Retrieve API supports retrieving NDC tickets, not all NDC carriers support retrieving NDC tickets through the EDIFACT/GDS path used by the JSON APIs. For the most consistent and reliable retrieve, best practice is to use Travelport Smartpoint Cloud to display NDC tickets. Note that ticket display functionality for NDC transactions is not supported in terminal programs.

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.

For differences between GDS and NDC in the JSON APIs, see the support tables for seats, ancillaries, fare rules, and exchanges, and the NDC and GDS Functionality Comparison.
For differences within NDC by individual carriers, see NDC capabilities by airline through JSON API in the Travelport Knowledge Base. If you need login assistance, see Knowledge Base NDC Resources.
