API Convention
API Definitions
Whenever the spelling for a particular entity is ambiguous between different lects of English, always side with American English.
There are two distinct base URLs for the solution.
- ​Traveler - This represents all resources and actions that an end user of the SDK would need. Functionality such as browsing a catalog, making orders or viewing flights.
- ​Partner - This represents global company level tooling that an administrator of an SDK implementation may need. The Management Console provides a user interface for this, however sometimes it's useful to be able to programatically administer the tool via the API directly.
API Convention
Resources
- Resources should always be singular, and should descend into its components down a path. e.g1https://guestlogix.io/resource/{resource-id}/sub-resource/{sub-resource-id}Copied!
- 1https://guestlogix.io/resource?query-param=x&another-query-param=yCopied!
API Errors
Should the API consumer provide insufficient parameters, or request a resource out of order the API will return a
4xx level status code. For more granularity, an error code and message will accompany the response. The errors are outlined in more detail in the Error Codes.Date and Time Formatting
In the context of JSON formatting, the following methods of representation are used:
DateTime
eg.
1
{
2
"dateTime" : "2018-12-10T17:05:09Z" //December 10th 2018 12:05:09pm UTC Time
3
}
Copied!
Date
When a single calendar day is needed to be represented, and time is irrelevant, a string of the format
YYYY-MM-DD is to be used.eg.
1
{
2
"date" : "2018-12-10" //December 10th 2018
3
}
Copied!
Time
When a time of day is to be used, the attribute that holds it should have the suffix
inSeconds, inMinutes or inHours etc. and refers to corresponding integer number since midnight of a given day.eg.
1
{
2
"timeInSeconds" : 25200, //7:00am
3
"timeInMinutes": 420, //7:00am
4
"timeInHours": 7 //7:00am
5
}
Copied!
