What is it?

The Get Ancillaries API displays a list of SSRs returned by the carrier when no payment or EMD is required. Returned SSRs are displayed in the International Air Transport Association (IATA) New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard format.

Notes:

  • Get Ancillaries is REST-like and JSON-based but is not fully RESTful in its architecture.
  • This API supports both ATK and ATH session tokens.

Why use it?

Use this API to retrieve ancillary availability and information about any non-chargeable ancillaries, such as wheelchair accessibility and meal preferences.

How it works

The Get Ancillaries API connects to external ancillary providers (for example, United Airlines (UA), Qantas Airways (QF)) for NDC content:

  • One offerId can be given per ServiceList response.
  • One offerItemId is given for an individual ancillary and a set of ancillary definitions.

How to use

Follow the steps below to obtain NDC content via orderId:

Get Services with an orderId Request Type

  1. Create and save an NDC order using the Order Management API.
  2. Create a request to the /getAncillaries POST method with the orderId to display the SSR information for the referenced order.

The response will display ancillaries for all the segments associated with the provided orderId.
