TBO API integration
TBO is one of the most widely used B2B sources in India and the Gulf, carrying both air and hotel content on a single agreement. For agencies without their own GDS contract, it is often the fastest route to a full inventory.

- Air content covering full-service carriers and low-cost carriers

- Strong coverage of Indian domestic and Gulf routes
- Booking, cancellation and refund handled through the API
- One agreement covering two product lines, which simplifies reconciliation
What we connect
- Combined air and hotel search from a single supplier connection
- Fare and rate confirmation before payment
- Booking, ticketing and voucher generation
- Cancellation and refund raised through the API with status tracking
- Supplier balance and credit position surfaced in your admin

Where it plugs in
- Your B2B agent portal, with tier-based markups
- Your B2C consumer site, at retail pricing
- Your corporate self-booking tool

Because TBO carries both air and hotel, it is often the first supplier an agency connects and the last one they turn off. It is a sensible starting point if you want to be selling quickly, and it coexists happily with GDS content added later.
Timeline
Three to seven working days.#
Send test credentials, the API documentation and a contact at TBO. We map search, book, cancel and refund, run certification if it is required, and switch to production once you have signed off on UAT.
TBO integration questions#
Can TBO be my only supplier to start with?
It can, and plenty of agencies launch that way because it covers both air and hotel. Most add a GDS or a bedbank within the first few months once they can see from the margin reports where a second source would pay for itself.
Do air and hotel need separate markup rules?
They can have separate rules, and generally should — margin expectations differ sharply between the two. The platform treats them as distinct product lines from the same supplier.
How is refund status tracked?
Refunds raised through the API carry a status against the booking, so your desk can see what has been requested, what the supplier has approved and what has actually been credited — rather than reconciling it from a statement at month end.
