2.1.1. SEARCH BY LOCATIONS
GP Travel HUB offers several alternatives for searching transfers by location. If the same city is specified in the TransferDeparture and TransferDestination elements then transfer search will be performed into this city. In other cases (when different cities are specified in TransferDeparture and TransferDestination elements), a search for transfer will be performed from one city to another.
| Search by | Description | Search example |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | City code from supplier context (one supplier) | Allows to specify city code of certain supplier and get transfer offers only from this supplier. You can use this case if you know the exact location codes from suppliers and would like to get offers only from some suppliers. | <Criterion>
<TransferDeparture CodeContext="supplierCode" LocationCode="PAR" LocationType="City"/>
<TransferDestination CodeContext="supplierCode" LocationCode="PAR" LocationType="City"/>
</Criterion> |
2 | City code from GEO context (one supplier) | When the CodeContext is "GEO.<supplier>" then the LocationCode must be specified in GEO context, and then the search request goes only to the supplier specified. So, you can send a request to the particular supplier, even if you don’t know supplier-specific City Code (as described in p.1 above). | <Criterion>
<TransferDeparture CodeContext="GEO.supplierCode" LocationCode="29603" LocationType="City"/>
<TransferDestination CodeContext="GEO.supplierCode" LocationCode="29603" LocationType="City"/>
</Criterion> |
3 | City code from customer context | If it is agreed to support customer context, GP Travel HUB can search by customer-specific city codes. In this case your application can provide your city code, GP Travel HUB will resolve it via GEO-tree and send requests to the supplier.
| <Criterion>
<TransferDeparture CodeContext="ABC.supplierCode" LocationCode="29603" LocationType="City"/>
<TransferDestination CodeContext="ABC.supplierCode" LocationCode="29603" LocationType="City"/>
</Criterion>
