Definitions of Atlas API booking flows, identifiers, order lifecycle terms, and integration concepts.

This glossary defines the terms used across Atlas API documentation.

Use it to interpret workflow guides, endpoint references, and error guidance consistently.

What is Atlas API?

Atlas API supports flight shopping, booking, payment, ticketing, and post-booking operations.

Start with What is Atlas API? for product capabilities and documentation entry points.

Booking flows

Standard booking

The standard path starts with search.do.

It uses routingIdentifier for verify.do, then sessionId for order.do.

See Standard booking.

Get Offer

Get Offer prices a known itinerary with getOffers.do.

It returns an OfferId used for order creation.

See Get Offer.

Fulfilment API

Fulfilment API uses getOfferPrice.do to price an offer.

Its flow uses a short-lived OfferId and fast payment after order creation.

See Fulfilment API.

Core identifiers

routingIdentifier

search.do returns this route token.

Pass it to verify.do in the standard booking flow.

sessionId

verify.do returns this booking context.

Pass it to order.do in the standard booking flow.

OfferId

getOffers.do or getOfferPrice.do returns this offer context.

Use it for order.do in its matching booking flow.

orderNo

order.do returns the Atlas order identifier.

Use it for payment, order queries, ticketing follow-up, and post-booking actions.

See Identifiers for validity periods, flow mapping, and refresh rules.

Order lifecycle

An order is created with order.do.

Payment and ticketing start through pay.do where the flow requires it. Use queryOrderDetails.do to check order status and ticketing progress.

See Payment & Ticketing and Query Order.

Webhooks and incidents

A webhook delivers Atlas event notifications to your endpoint.

Use webhooks for ticketing, void, schedule-change, airline-status, email, and incident notifications.

See Webhook Overview.
