Universal API Release Notes

Release Notes are published for each Universal API release. The Release Notes contain information about the new and updated functionality that is part of the release, in a table format. Each row in a Release Notes table may contain a link to a specific topic or topics that provides further information about the functionality in the context of the topic.

Version indicators in the help show which quarterly release version supports specific functionality:

• Functionality related to the current production release is identified by U for Very New.

• N indicates New for functionality related to the last release.

• Functionality related to a recent release is indicated by the release number (e.g., Release 20.2).

Schema Support and Retirement

Travelport recommends updating to the latest version of the schema at least once per year if a new schema version is available to ensure you are not required to make a multi-year schema jump when a schema version is retired.

Important! 

• Universal API provides support for schema versions for up to three years. After the retirement date, transactions that are sent using retired schema versions may fail.

• Effective January 23, 2025, the Travelport Universal API schema retirement process is being put on hold temporarily.

  • While it is encouraged to upgrade to the latest schema to take advantage of new functionality, Travelport will not mandate that applications are upgraded to a newer version at this time.

  • Once a decision is made to reinstate the process, users will be notified well in advance of any schema version(s) considered for retirement and when they will be retired.

  • Travelport appreciates the efforts of those who have updated their applications to use the latest version prior to this updated notice.

  • Please reach out to your Travelport representative should you have any questions.
