State is transferred to the Alphabeds site using an encoded cgi string
Prices are returned at gross rates in GBP, unless a currency is supplied
Prices on some rooms may be approximate. This is due to some limitations of legacy systems. When the user clicks on the valuate link, the price given will be the final price.
Technical notesTake note of the HTTP headers you must pass with each XML document. The XML panel in each webmethod description is essentially the HTTP string you should be posting.
This is a SOAP implementation of an XML Webservice. Whilst using a SOAP toolkit isn't strictly necessary, it will help speed up development.
Some errors will be returned in an tag in each result set (e.g. missing node values). SOAP Exceptions may be generated (e.g. malformed SOAP request); these will return a server error 500 and a SOAP message. This is as per the SOAP specification.
Dates in the TravelCentral system are always processed in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD
As we interact with many different systems, do not assume that a node named "EdiCode" will always be an integer. Many codes and keys will take a variety of string forms, so it is wise to budget for a reasonable string length in your internal systems (128 will be adequate for most code fields).
MasterDestination fields are taken from the Travelcentral master list of destinations. These are in the form of a GUID and should be given in the format: {ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP}.
