Dates search

Dates search returns a list of bookable dates for a given search query, along with additional information about each bookable date.

Each bookable date has a field called HashCode which can with conjunction of TourOperator be used together to execute offer checks or bookings.

Warning

Sending too generic query might result in an error due to too many matches. We recommend limiting the number of possible matches by restricting search to a specific product found using products query.

API Endpoints

It's API endpoint is, /search/<content type>/dates

For example:

  • For hotel: /search/hotel/dates
  • For pauschal: /search/pauschal/dates
  • For trips: /search/trips/dates

Response structure

The response structure is made from two root keys: Products that is an array of found products and Dates which is an array of actual bookable dates. Both entries within both arrays are linked together with an OfferID key.

Any entries that are either not applicable to the given content type, or are missing (ie. empty) are not displayed.
