### Choose the right path

#### New integration

Start with [Quick Start](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/quick-start).

Then move through:

* [Sandbox Access](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/quick-start/making-requests)
* [Sandbox Development](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/quick-start/sandbox-development)

#### Core booking flow

Use [Booking Overview](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/booking-overview) for search, verify, order, payment, and order lookup.

#### Post-booking operations

Use [Post-booking Overview](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/post-booking-overview) and [Post-booking Operations](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/post-booking-overview/post-booking-operations) for refunds, maintenance, ancillaries, and claims.

#### Special programs

Use [Special Integrations](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/special-integrations) only when your business flow requires airline-specific or discounted fare logic.

#### Operational tools

Use [Utility API Overview](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/readme/utility-api-overview) for balance, email, export, and ATRIP access.

#### Shared test and reference data

Use [Integration Reference](https://resources.atriptech.com/api-document/integration-reference) for shared values, sandbox test routes, and sandbox test cards.
