OpenTravel Specification (OTA Message Suite and OTM)

The OpenTravel Specification is the royalty-free message vocabulary the travel industry uses between suppliers, GDSs, channel managers and OTAs. It ships in two forms — the OTA 1.0 XML message suite, released twice yearly since 2001, and the model-driven OpenTravel 2.0 Object Model (OTM), which generates XML Schema, JSON Schema and Swagger 2.0 contracts from one model — plus the OpenTravel Code Lists used across air, hospitality, car rental, cruise, rail and GDS systems.

Providers that carry OpenTravel Specification 1

These providers' own APIs.json profiles carry OpenTravel Specification as a tag — the provider's statement that the standard is part of what it does. APIs.io has not verified the implementation on this page; the de facto profiles on this site are where that measurement exists. Ordered by Kin Score.
