Quick Start

GalapagosGDS api provides an electronic interface for partners to create and update bookings with the requested data.

This section explains authentication and how to send a request to the GalapagosGDS API CB interface for a live test.

---

Authentication

To perform authentication, GalapagosGDS provides a unique url for every partner to connect to the API.

The API must be provided the following headers to be authenticated by the GalapagosGDS.

[
    "Authorization: Basic base64(email:pass)",
    "Token: {token}"
]

Request URL:

https://test.reseller.voyageport.com/booking/create

{token} must be in clear text in the URL to connect to GalapagosGDS API.

Create booking Request and Response

The Create booking request (CB RQ) allows GalapagosGDS partners to send GalapagosGDS request on Create booking. Below is a pair of sample request/response messages for Create booking update. For partners wanting to experiment with the API, the following requests can be posted directly to the GalapagosGDS interface at the authentication url provided. Make sure to include content type = text/json in your http header.
