Examples (Extras)

Searching for extras is a bit different.

Example searching for simple extras

// you must speficy one date (usually this is a checkin date if extras is used in combination with accommodation)
$searchParams = array(
  'vnd' => '30.10.2014',       // start date
  'bsd' => '30.10.2014',       // end date
  'tag' => 'ticket',           // using tag 'ticket' (tags are defined by owner of extras)
  'epc' => '2',                // number of adults
  'toc' => 'ABC'               // touroperator code
);
 
$offers = $soapClient->orsxml_extras_api_call( 'offers', $searchParams, $header );

Example searching for simple extras with arrival times

// search for simple extras with times
$searchParams = array(
  'vnd' => '30.10.2014',       // start date
  'bsd' => '30.10.2014',       // end date
  'time' => '10:00:00',        // arrival time (H:i:s)
  'tag' => 'bus',              // using tag 'ticket' (tags are defined by owner of extras)
  'epc' => '2',                // number of adults
  'toc' => 'ABC'               // touroperator code
);
 
$offers = $soapClient->orsxml_extras_api_call( 'offers', $searchParams, $header );

Example searching for inbound and outbound transfers

// search for inbound transfer
$searchParams = array(
  'vnd' => '30.10.2014',       // start date
  'bsd' => '30.10.2014',       // end date
  'epc' => '2',                // number of adults  
  'transfer' => '1',           // search for transfer
  'foid' => '12225',           // from City ID
  'tzhc' => 'SPU',             // to airport (IATA code)
  'toc' => 'ABC'               // touroperator code
);
 
$inbound_offers = $soapClient->orsxml_extras_api_call( 'offers', $searchParams, $header );
 
// search for outbound transfer
$searchParams = array(
  'vnd' => '30.10.2014',       // start date
  'bsd' => '30.10.2014',       // end date
  'epc' => '2',                // number of adults
  'transfer' => '1',           // search for transfer
  'fzhc' => 'ZAG',             // from airport (IATA code)
  'toid' => '12225',           // to City ID
  'toc' => 'ABC'               // touroperator code
);
 
$outbound_offers = $soapClient->orsxml_extras_api_call( 'offers', $searchParams, $header );

Example searching for extras that are in combination with accommodation (packages)

$searchParams = array(
  'vnd' => '30.10.2014',       // start date
  'bsd' => '30.10.2014',       // end date
  'epc' => '2',                // number of adults  
  'idp' => '1005',             // offer ID. This ID is located in 'Check method' response. Without this ID you won't get packaged extras
  'toc' => 'ABC'               // touroperator code
);
 
$offers = $soapClient->orsxml_extras_api_call( 'offers', $searchParams, $header );
