Sessioning via Universal API

Introduction

Travelport Universal API offers an array of session abilities for air booking.

Travelport’s Universal API Session Sharing gives customers the ability to establish a session (temporary workspace), allowing it to better control the workflow, to hold inventory during the booking flow, and respond meaningfully to errors to control transaction behavior.

The session workflow is intended to be granular or incremental, allowing the user to validate or branch based on success or failure.

When you are ready to start using sessions via Universal API, the following sections of the help will provide detailed information, let you download the latest version of the Universal API WSDLs, show you how to set up your first session request, and determine the code you need to use in your transactions.

Background

This Session section of the Universal API assumes the user has read and understood all of the content in the Universal API Introduction and Getting Started sections in the Help System. The series of topics is an add-on for specific functionality and will not discuss concepts other than the specific task of session sharing.
