GetTransfer API

With the GetTransfer API, affiliates can:

receive and display information about transfers on their website
create transfer requests on their website
receive remuneration for paid requests after transfer completion

Before you start working with GetTransfer API you need to sign up to the Travelpayouts partnership platform and join the GetTransfer program.

To work with the API you will need a special key (API_KEY). To get it, please send the following information to our support team:

where and how you plan to use the API
prototypes/designs of the future project or an existing project where you plan to use the function
number of visitors/users per month
language/region of the resource
how you attract traffic.

Terms of API access:

Prices can only be requested if the request is initiated by a real user with points from/to and the date of travel. Collection of price data in automatic mode without real user requests is prohibited.
Users should always use the latest information from the GetTransfer.com API to show them; data caching on the affiliate side is prohibited.
In the affiliate interface, the price obtained by using the Display Prices query must be specified with the specification that it is the initial price (price "from").
In the request Create a transfer request, the affiliate must specify the current email of the user who requests the transfer. It is this email the user will receive a link to his account to view the offers received from the carriers and the subsequent booking.
In order to be launched into production, the affiliate must successfully pass the testing by GetTransfer.com in the test environment (GetTransfer.com specialists must be given access to the affiliate's test environment for testing).
