WeTravel Public APIs

Initial Set Up

Required Actions

☑️   You need to have an active and verified WeTravel Pro account.

☑️   Go to your profile and scroll down to the “Public API Integration” section to generate your API key (also known as refresh token) by clicking the button.

Please note that the key you generated cannot call the API directly. This “refresh token” is a key for obtaining the “access token” required to call the API.

☑️   Use your refresh token to generate unlimited access tokens as you need them.

☑️   Click on “Explore API documentation” to access more information on WeTravel’s available Public APIs. This resource will guide you on effectively utilizing our API for your specific business needs. We currently have 5 API functionalities: Trip Builder, Booking, Transactions, Payments, and Suppliers.

 

Best Practices

☑️   Once generated, safely store your API key (refresh token), as it won’t be visible in your WeTravel account.

For more information or assistance with APIs, consult our Help Center or contact our Customer Support team.

Webhooks

Required Actions

☑️   After authenticating your API key, you’ll see a new section called “Webhooks”, located right below the “Public API Integration” section.

☑️   Toggle the switcher to “Yes” and then click on “Manage Webhooks”. This action will open a new browser in your window with your Svix dashboard, where you can manage these webhooks.

Best Practices

☑️   Webhooks serve as a “communication method” for your online accounts, enabling automatic notifications when new events occur on each system. For instance, WeTravel can inform your internal systems about newly issued payments or updated bookings.
