Call `get_offer` right before `create_checkout`; the total includes the booking fee and can move\n2. Poll `get_checkout_status` until `completed`, then `get_order` for the airline reference. A sent link isn't a booking\n3. Never ask for card numbers in chat. Hand over `checkout_url`, or pay it with a Link virtual card the user approved for the exact total\n4. Budget 100 searches a day per signed-in user, and use `search_multi_city` instead of many single searches\n5. Save the traveller once with `save_traveler` so later bookings don't re-ask for passport details\n\n### Travelport TripServices APIs\n\n1. Request one token and cache it for 24 hours. Travelport declines certification for refreshing more often than every 23 hours without a stated reason\n2. Send `Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate` and `XAUTH_TRAVELPORT_ACCESSGROUP` (or `TVP-PCC-CORE`) on every call. Production traffic without compression is refused\n3. Send `offersPerPage` on a journey-based search, or later calls can't reference its results. Cached searches last 12 minutes for GDS content and 34 for NDC\n4. Commit a workbench within 30 minutes or it expires, and read `Result/Error` in the body even on HTTP 200\n5. Get written authorisation for agent access before production. The terms bar automated tools and speculative or duplicate bookings\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, FlightClaw or Travelport TripServices APIs?\n\nTravelport TripServices APIs and FlightClaw score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 45.9 (E) and 45.3 (E).
