Skip to main contentTravelKISS API is built for simplicity and performance, allowing you to concentrate on delivering exceptional features to your users. It offers smooth and reliable access to comprehensive touristic data, covering availability, pricing, and booking options, making it an ideal solution for travel and hospitality platforms.
Purpose of the API
The purpose of this API is to provide a unified, efficient, and scalable interface for accessing and managing data related to hotels, activities, and transfers within the travel and hospitality ecosystem. It is designed to support seamless integration with third-party platforms, internal systems, and mobile applications, enabling real-time data exchange and automation across services.
Key Objectives
- Standardization: Offer a consistent data structure and access method for diverse services such as hotel bookings, activity reservations, and transfer logistics.
- Efficiency: Reduce manual operations by enabling automated data retrieval, updates, and synchronization.
- Scalability: Support high-volume transactions and dynamic content updates to meet the needs of DMCs, OTAs, and hotel trading platforms.
- Flexibility: Allow for customizable queries and endpoints to suit different business models and integration requirements.
Use Cases
- Retrieve hotel availability, pricing, and descriptions.
- Access detailed activity listings, schedules, and booking options.
- Manage transfer services including routes, vehicle types, and timing.
- Synchronize inventory and booking data across multiple systems.
This API is a core component of the Axis Data platform, empowering partners to build robust travel solutions with reliable and up-to-date information.
Architecture overview
- Foundation: The documentation is built on a modular XML schema, allowing for clear separation of concerns between service types (e.g., hotel, activity, transfer) while maintaining a unified structure.
- Service-Oriented: Each service is encapsulated within its own XML node hierarchy, describing available operations (e.g., search, book, cancel), required parameters, and expected responses.
- Validation & Consistency: XML Schema Definitions (XSD) are used to enforce data integrity, ensuring that all requests and responses conform to predefined formats and business rules.
- Extensibility: The architecture supports versioning and custom extensions, allowing partners to adapt the documentation to evolving business needs without disrupting existing integrations.
- API Binding: The XML documentation is tightly coupled with the API layer, enabling dynamic generation of service descriptions and facilitating automated client code generation in various programming languages.
