Introduction
The Trips endpoint lets developers retrieve personalized travel restrictions and documents based on trip context like origin, destination, and date of travel.
Trips endpoint is a convenient way to retrieve contextualized Restrictions and Procedures enforced by Countries or Regions.
Definitions
ISO 3166-1 Territory
ISO 3166-1 is a standard defining a code for the names of countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. We will use this terminology throughout this document instead of countries and territories. At sherpa°, we default to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 unless stated otherwise.
Transit/Connection
When the customer’s ticket between two locations includes one or more locations in between where travellers have to disembark the airplane and board another one. The customer will not be leaving the airport in this scenario.
Transit Information
A transit or connection only applies when the customer has purchased the entire trip as a single ticket. This means they would usually not be required to collect their baggage and have them rechecked. If the trip is international, they may be able to stay in the international section of the airport without crossing the border control or customs gates.
Self Transit or Virtual Interlining
A technology used by travel companies that combines flights from different carriers that don't traditionally work together to go from point A to B via C. Travellers might also create their custom trip by booking separate tickets simultaneously to reach their final destination. The customer may leave the airport in this scenario to fly out from another airport in the same city.
Virtual Interlining vs Normal Transit
The key difference with a regular transit described above is that it can result in some unique scenarios on international transits where a traveller must collect their baggage, pass through customs or border control, and re-check their baggage before carrying on to their next flight.
Multi-Connection trip
If a trip between an origin and destination has at least one connection or transit, excluding self transit or virtual interlining.
Multi-Segment trip
A trip that has multiple flights, and the traveller is able to leave the airport at each transit point, even if they stay inside the airport. All trips with self-transit or virtual interlining are multi-connection trips.
Domestic Flight
A flight between two points where the origin and destination and transit points are located in the same ISO 3166-1 Territory. For example, Toronto to Vancouver, New York to Los Angeles, Edmonton to Calgary, etc.
Domestic Requirements Support
Sherpaº currently only supports domestic requirements for the United States, Canada, and Australia. Domestic requirements will only be shown on flights that take place wholly within these ISO 3166-1 Territory.
International Flight
A flight between two points where the origin and destination [or transit points] are located in a different ISO 3166-1 Territory. For example, London to Paris (the U.K. and France), New York to Tokyo (USA and Japan), etc.
All international travel requirements that apply will be shown on these trips.
International Transit
This is an international flight between two points where passengers are not formally entering the destination ISO 3166-1 Territory, but only transiting through on their way to a final destination.
For example, if one is flying from Toronto to Dubai with a layover in London, Toronto to London would be considered an international transit. International transit requirements will apply from Toronto to London and international flight requirements will apply from London to Dubai.
Request Headers
Each call to the API must include your unique API key and the content type as headers. Additional optional headers are listed in the table below.
| Header | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| x-api-key | Y | Your unique API key that is used to authenticate requests. |
| Content-Type | Y | The content type returned as the API response. Set to application/vnd.api+json |
| Accept-Encoding | N | The type of compression to use for the API response. Set to gzip, br |
API Response Compression
Currently, our API responses are not compressed, however we are considering adding this feature in the future. The
Accept-Encodingheader can still be used so that applicable responses will be compressed autmatically once the feature is added.

Unsupported Cases
Even though a trip might be valid syntax, it might not provide the desired output. Here are some cases we currently don't support along with a brief description and example
Airport -> Airport (within same region)
Example: SFO -> SAN
Travel rules remain the same within the same region.
"alerts": [
"We don't have information for travel within California. Be sure to check official sources."
]
Airport → Airport (Within same country but different regions with no domestic info)
Example: SXF → FRA
We currently only fully support regions from selected countries.
"headline": "We don't have information for travel from Berlin (SXF) to Frankfurt (FRA). Be sure to check official sources."
Airport → Region (Within same country but different regions with no domestic info)
Example: COK → IN-DL
"headline": "We don't have information for travel from Kochi (COK) to Delhi. Be sure to check official sources.",
Example: SXF → DE-HE
"headline": "We don't have information for travel from Berlin (SXF) to Germany. Be sure to check official sources."
Region → Airport - (Within same country but different regions with no domestic info)
Example: DE-HE → SXF
"headline": "We don't have information for travel from Berlin (SXF) to Germany. Be sure to check official sources."
Region → Region (Within same country but different regions with no domestic info)
Example: DE-HE → DE-BR
"headline": "We don't have information for travel within Germany. Be sure to check official sources."
Actual headlines are localized and may change
Headlines as part of the summary are fully localized and can be easily used to display information to the end users.
The outlined examples are a current snapshot and the exact copy of the messages may change as we continuously improve on making travel rules understandable.
Examples of invalid trips
Country -> Country (same country)
Example: CAN -> CAN
Country -> Region (region in same country)
Region -> Country (region in same country)
Example: CAN -> CA-ON
Country -> Airport (airport in same country)
Airport -> Country (airport in same country)
Example: CAN -> YYZ
Visa Specific Data on Trips Endpoint
Visa requirements show the destination country's visa (paper and eVisa) requirements for a traveller. The Visa requirements section can be found as part of the /v3/trips response or as a stand-alone request for entry requirements under the /v2/procedures resource endpoint.
Looking at a /v3/trips response, the visa requirements are listed under the attributes informationGroups with the type: VISA_REQUIREMENTS (data.attributes.informationGroups[x].type)
For a typical trip going one way from Canada(CAN) to Italy(ITA), a snippet below shows what to expect. The informationGroups section has a list of the response ids which point to details about each visa requirement necessary for the trip.
