Verdicts

Soar

Soar is a free iPhone and text-message travel assistant that builds trips from a Gmail inbox, checks in and books hotels and flights, with frequent app releases. Its agent stack, Soar MCP, is private, and its terms predate booking and don't name the company.

Travelport TripServices APIs

Public OpenAPI 3.0 files, Markdown docs and an llms.txt cover search, pricing, booking, ticketing, exchanges and hotel stays, with dated release notes through August 2026. Production needs a sales contract and certification with 15 days' notice. No price, API rate limit, status page or SLA is published, and the terms bar automated tools without written permission.

Before you call either

Soar

  1. Don't plan to call Soar from another agent. Its MCP server needs private onboarding by the team.
  2. Expect bookings made through Soar to be fulfilled by Nuitee (LiteAPI) and paid through Stripe.

Travelport TripServices APIs

  1. Request one token and cache it for 24 hours. Travelport declines certification for refreshing more often than every 23 hours without a stated reason
  2. Send Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate and XAUTH_TRAVELPORT_ACCESSGROUP (or TVP-PCC-CORE) on every call. Production traffic without compression is refused
  3. 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
  4. Commit a workbench within 30 minutes or it expires, and read Result/Error in the body even on HTTP 200
  5. Get written authorisation for agent access before production. The terms bar automated tools and speculative or duplicate bookings
