description: Qantas Airways Limited is Australia's flag carrier and, with its low-cost subsidiary
  Jetstar, one half of a domestic duopoly alongside Virgin Australia. In the distribution
  chain Qantas is the supplier of its own inventory — it sits upstream of the GDSs (Amadeus,
  Sabre, Travelport), the aggregators (Duffel, Travelfusion, Mystifly, Verteil, AirGateway,
  TPConnects, TravelSky) and the large Australian agency groups (Flight Centre, Corporate
  Travel Management, Webjet). Its API posture is distribution-only and fully gated. Qantas
  publishes no developer portal, no OpenAPI or Swagger definition, and no public consumer
  API; developer., developers., docs. and api.qantas.com.au do not resolve, and api.qantas.com
  returns 404 on every path probed. The one real API is the Qantas Distribution Platform (QDP)
  NDC XML API, built with Farelogix (now Accelya) and certified by IATA to NDC@Scale. It is
  documented in prose on Qantas Agency Connect but no endpoint, schema or specification is
  published; a technology partner must sign a Qantas Distribution Platform Access Agreement,
  subject to Qantas technical and commercial approval, before it is granted test-environment
  access, and an agency must hold IATA, ARC, TIDS or VTC accreditation. Public docs on how
  to get in, no public contract and no exit path.

  name: Qantas Distribution Platform NDC XML API
  description: The Qantas Distribution Platform (QDP) is Qantas' NDC XML API for airline retailing
    — shopping, offer and order creation, ticketing, ancillaries and post-booking servicing
    of Qantas (QF) content for travel agencies, GDSs and aggregators. Built in partnership
    with Farelogix Inc. (now Accelya) on IATA's New Distribution Capability standard, and
    certified by IATA to NDC@Scale. Qantas states the platform "does not have a customer-facing
    user interface" and is "designed to allow Technology Partners to develop a connection
    to our NDC XML API". No endpoint host, no NDC schema version and no machine-readable specification
    are published; access requires a signed Qantas Distribution Platform Access Agreement,
    and agencies must hold IATA, ARC, TIDS or VTC accreditation. Agencies that cannot connect
    through a Certified Technology Partner may instead use the QDP portal, a web UI powered
    by Accelya NDC SPRK.
