API Next is Softrip's latest version of the CMS API, using new technologies and structures to publish your content for third-parties to display on their own websites.
Softrip's API Next exposes regions, destinations, TOCs, and packages through a JSON API. The root URL for all API calls is:
/api/ |
CMS content is organized into four nested levels:
Regions
Subregions
Destinations
TOCs (Tables of Content)
Packages
Every CMS API call requires a input for "BrandID" that should be passed in the query string for your API call. Check with your Softrip subscriber to get their brand IDs for the content you wish to retrieve.
/api/cms/regions/?brandid=MYBRAND |
In order to pull all CMS and package content from the API, your code will have to run multiple calls to the API:
Get all the regions ("Regions" API call) - The response contains all regions, subregions, destinations, and TOCs, and each TOC will have a list of packages.
For each region, parse the subregion
For each subregion, parse the destinations
For each destination, parse the TOCs
For each TOC, parse the packages and get their IDs to pull their details using the "Packages" CMS API call
For each package, request its details ("Package" API call)
Regions represent groups of destinations, and reflect the organization of the main website. For example, there is a region for "Italy and Europe"
To get a list of all regions, use the API call:
/api/cms/regions/?brandid=[MYBRAND] |
The JSON response contains a list of region objects. Each region object contains a list of destination objects, each destination object contains a list of TOCs, and each TOC contains a list of packages.
Subregions represent a subdivision of the regions loaded in the system, and reflect the organization of the main website. For example, the "Italy and Europe" region has a "Italy and Sicily" subregion.
/api/cms/subregions/[SUBREGIONID]?brandid=[MYBRAND] |
Destinations represent groups of TOCs, and reflect the organization of the main website.
Destinations can be pulled from the "Regions" API call (for all regions and destinations), or on an individual basis:
/api/cms/destinations/[DESTINATIONID]?brandid=[MYBRAND] |
The JSON response contains a list of TOCobjects.
TOCs represent groups of packages in a given destination, and reflect the organization of the main website.
TOCs can be pulled from the "Regions" API call (for all regions and destrinations), or on an individual basis:
/api/cms/TOCs/[TOCID]?brandid=[MYBRAND] |
The JSON response contains a list of Package objects.
Packages represent a particular offering for a given tour. This includes detailed itinerary, travel tips, departure dates, and prices.
Packages can be pulled using the "Package" API call:
/api/cms/packages/[PACKAGEID]?brandid=[MYBRAND] |
