An API is generally a module where software developers may plug into another system. In our case, this means that only logic and data structures from our back end systems are being used.
In most cases, it is far simpler to use one general purpose API than having to deal with systems from lots of different sources like GDS, various airlines, car rental companies, hotels, etc.
Plug into our system and have it all from one source - TravelComponents.
TravelComponents.API
The TravelComponents API (Application Programming Interface) is a package that travel agencies needs create travel sites without having to deal with advanced GDS logic, but want to have full control on the user interface. The API has some easy to use data structures that allow you to create your own travel web site.
Documentation for System Developers
The API comes together with a documentation package on the data structure. It also has code examples and a test project. All of them are written in C# on newest release of Microsoft .net framework.
API Releases
All developers know that new versions of API and frameworks may be a pain. To make it easier for developers, we will deliver an overview of structural changes and method changes from one version to another. We will also deliver a beta-version of the APIs that you may test on before we come with the release. This gives you enough time to update your own application before going into production with new releases.
Courses
For the users of the API, we deliver a course for System Developers, where we go through data structures and issues around developing on the API.
