Trips is the latest and greatest endpoint in the sherpa° Requirements API with ongoing development focused on adding and improving features to make it simple, effective, and easy to use.

This page outlines the parameters of a Trips request, as well as the various attributes found in a Trips response.
You can also find examples of both of these JSON structures.

Trips Requests

Below you will find an example request to the Trips endpoint of the sherpa° Requirements API.

A request can be separated into two parts. The query and the body. See the Query and Body sections for more information about how they should look and what parameters must be included in each.

Query Parameters

Below is an example query using the Trips endpoint:
https://requirements-api.sandbox.joinsherpa.com/v2/trips?affiliateId=YOUR_AFFILIATE_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY&language=en-US&include=restriction,procedure

❗️
This example uses the Sherpa Sandbox
When using a Production API key, please use the following URL instead:
https://requirements-api.joinsherpa.com

Parameter	Type	Description
affiliateId	string	Your organization’s unique affiliate ID as provided by Sherpa.
key	string	Your organization’s unique API key as provided by Sherpa.
language	string	The desired language for the response data. See Language Support for a list of supported languages and their respective codes.
include	string	Comma-separated list of desired results to include in the response. Possible values: `restriction` `procedure` We recommend including both for the most complete picture of the travel requirements for a given trip.

Body Parameters

The body of the request is the JSON payload containing the specifics of the trip you are defining. Use the following format to ensure the request is able to be interpreted correctly.
