save_booking

POST/api/v0.1/save_booking{?v}

The response is the same as for check_flights with a few additional attributes. Booking is confirmed when save_booking returns a 200 http code.

save_booking requests and responses are slightly different according to the used payment method (Zooz or credits).

• for Zooz payment, you need to add parameter payment_gateway with value payu to the request body - "payment_gateway": "payu"

Please always send booked_at and affily in save_booking.

• affily is a unique affiliate id that is assigned to each partner and cannot be changed, it coresponds to the parameter partner on search. It will stay with you for the whole time you deal with Kiwi.com. If you do not have an affiliate ID yet, get one at Tequila.

• booked_at is the page where the booking was made, ussually same as affily .

Please note: There are occasionally cases where there are more bags sent to save_booking than is allowed.

The maximum number of bags that can be ordered is the number of prices in bags_price * (multiplied by) the number of passengers.

E.g.:

• bags_price = {} => no bag can be ordered

• bags_price = {1: 30}, length(passengers) = 2 => 2 bags may be ordered

• bags_price = {1: 30, 2: 60}, length(passengers) = 2 => 4 bags may be ordered

A number of bags has to equal the number of hold_bags in passengers dict.

Example:

"bags": 1

Has to equal the:

"passengers": [
    {
        "title": "Mr",
        "name": "test",
        "surname": "test",
        ...
        "hold_bags": {
            "00ed01af47020000af2500b4_0": {
                "1": 1
            },
            "01af22f5470200009cdfdb11_0": {
                "1": 1
            }
        }
    },{
        "title": "Mr",
        "name": "testing",
        "surname": "tester",
        ...
        "hold_bags": {
            "00ed01af47020000af2500b4_0": {
                "1": 0
            },
            "01af22f5470200009cdfdb11_0": {
                "1": 0
            }
        }
    }
