Hello,
Quick question here,
What are all the options we can use for the SpecialRequests in the Web/Cart/{sessionKey}/Tickets function.
The documentation for the operation says to "See the special requests section", however I do not see where that exists...
The important one I needed was "LeaveSingleSeats", and thankfully I found that answer for that one in the forums somewhere. So now I am wondering what else there is.
I would like one for the reserve held seats. If possible I would rather use the special requests rather than alter our T_DEFAULTS to allow those reservations.
Thanks much
... Howard
To answer my own question:...
I found this list back in the SOAP API Guide documentation. I will assume that these are the same for the REST call I am using...
I will paste it here in case someone else that needs it finds this post or for when the reference guide disappears because of the SOAP API sunset...:
Still not quite sure exactly how the "HoldCode" request (at the bottom of this list) works.. That might be useful for my application.. Is there some further explanation for what that does?
Select Tessitura API methods allow for special requests to be passed when reserving seats. The special requests must match the following name value pairs. If they do not match, they will not be sent to the Tessitura system.
Special requests should be represented in a standard URL parameter format. That is, names are separated from values by ‘=’, and each name-value pair is separated by ‘&’. For example:
NoStairs=Y&AisleSeat=L
Name
Data Type
Value
ContiguousSeats
INTEGER
0 to Maximum Seats/Request
WheelChairSeats
NoStairs
CHAR(1)
'Y','N'
AisleSeat
‘L’,’R’,’A’,’N’
StartingPrice
MONEY
0 to Maximum Price
EndingPrice
StartingRow
CHAR(10)
Row in seat map
EndingRow
StartingSeat
Seat in seat map
EndingSeat
LeaveSingleSeats
‘Y’,’N’
HoldCode
A valid value from T_HC.hc_no
Howard, I'm not sure what version of the API you are referencing here. In 15.0+, the help pages for ticket/sublineitem reserving (Web/Cart/{sessionKey}/Tickets, e.g.) do point to a revised version of this documentation in PUT Web/Cart/{sessionKey}/LineItems/{lineItemId}/SpecialRequest, which details these properties.
In v16.0 we are considering altering this property to be a request entity instead of the string passing key/values as this was largely just a 1-1 convert from SOAP functionality.
