  — "Air Transat API specifications", Radixx ConnectPoint API, Flight Booking

description: >-
  Air Transat's direct-connect distribution API does not use OAuth, OpenID
  Connect, API keys or mutual TLS. It uses a two-stage vendor credential
  exchange inherited from the Radixx (Sabre) passenger service system: a
  system-level logon that returns a session GUID, followed by a travel-agent
  logon that binds that session to a Transat-assigned IATA agency. There is no
  self-serve key issuance, no developer portal and no sandbox; every credential
  is provisioned by Transat under a commercial agreement.

  description: >-
    System-level authentication. Exchanges a Transat-issued Radixx LogonID and
    Password, scoped to AccessibleCarrierCode "TS", for a SecurityGUID that
    scopes the remainder of the booking flow.
- name: LoginTravelAgent
  type: vendor-credential-exchange
  stage: 2
  transport: SOAP 1.1
  credentials:
  - SecurityGUID           # from RetrieveSecurityToken

  description: >-
    Agency-level authentication. Binds the session to a pre-defined travel
    agency that Transat configures for each partner. The specification states:
    "A pre-defined Travel Agency will be configured and provided to each OTA
    Partner."

session:
  token: SecurityGUID
  lifetime: not published
  renewal: >-
    The session is closed after SavePNR at the end of the main booking flow;
    RetrieveSecurityToken must be called again for subsequent work such as
    retrieving a PNR.
  refresh_token: none
  revocation: not published

scopes:
  model: none
  note: >-
    No scope, permission or consent surface is published. Authorization is
    carrier-scoped (AccessibleCarrierCode "TS") and agency-scoped (IATANumber),
    both assigned by Transat, not requested by the client.
  artifact: null   # scopes/ intentionally absent — this is not an OAuth provider

  - Transat issues an agency UserName + Password for LoginTravelAgent.

transport_security:
  published_base_url: false
  note: >-
    No endpoint host, WSDL location or sandbox URL appears anywhere in the
    46-page specification. The service address is supplied privately to each
    partner, so transport security cannot be verified from public sources.
    See security/transat-domain-security.yml for the public web hosts.
