**E · 45.9/100 · rank #653 of 722 · #6 in Travel & booking · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


Assessment: 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 it

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
