New password requirements.

 

1G, 1V, 1P

 

A change in the process of how credentials and passwords are distributed when requested for new or existing SOAP XML API (Universal API) Services credentials has been implemented as of March 25th, 2025.

When requesting new Production or Pre-Production, or for additional credentials:

  • Your new credentials are delivered from an automated system via a noreply_bizagi@travelport.com encrypted email directly to the designated administrator at your company.

  • Your new password is delivered from an automated system via a api.details.receipts@travelport.com encrypted email directly to the designated administrator at your company.

For password reset for existing credentials:

  • The new password for existing credentials is delivered from an automated system via a api.details.receipts@travelport.com encrypted email, sent directly to the designated administrator at your company.

  • In some cases, credentials were created outside of the new system, e.g., created many years ago. For those infrequent scenarios, if a password reset is needed, it is delivered manually via an encrypted email sent directly to the designated administrator at your company.

For Admin Portal, or for additional credentials, an encrypted email is sent directly to the designated administrator at your company from noreply_bizagi@travelport.com.

In progress requests (started prior to the implementation of this new process):

  • For credential requests, the delivery of the credentials are delivered manually, as it was prior to March 25th 2025, which is from an encrypted email sent directly to the designated administrator at your company.

  • The password for the additional production credentials are delivered separately from an automated system via api.details.receipts@travelport.com encrypted email directly to the designated administrator at your company.

Chunked encoding is not supported by Universal API.

 

1G, 1V, 1P, ACH, RCS

 

Chunked encoding is a setting that can be sent in an HTTP header as Transfer-Encoding: chunked, allowing the data stream to be transmitted differently. When connecting an application to Travelport using SOAP XML API (Universal API) Services, chunked encoding should not be used to avoid any transmission errors when processing SOAP XML requests because chunked encoding is not supported.

See DA-1055 for further details.
