API to retrieve booking data based on provider booking reference

Question

I'm looking for a solution to retrieve reservation data using the booking reference provided by the booking provider. For example, if I book a flight on the Lufthansa website, I receive a booking reference from Lufthansa (e.g., OGHLNA). I would like to be able to enter this booking reference on my website and retrieve the corresponding reservation data from the Lufthansa website using an API. 
As far as I know, the only way would be to have specific agreements with every provider. Is there any compay providing such an API service? Any idea?

Answer

To retrieve reservation data using the booking reference provided by the booking provider, you can utilize the Booking.com Connectivity APIs or similar services offered by other providers. These APIs enable connectivity partners to send and retrieve data for properties listed on the platform, allowing them to manage room availability, reservations, prices, and other relevant information. Additionally, the Booking.com Developers API provides all the necessary information to make full use of their API, including detailed explanations of functions, calls, formats, and data available.
It's important to note that the availability of such APIs may vary between different providers. Some providers may require specific agreements or offer their own API solutions for reservation retrieval. Therefore, it's advisable to explore the specific offerings of individual providers and consider integrating the APIs that best align with the requirements of your website and the providers you work with.
In summary, companies like Booking.com provide connectivity APIs that enable partners to retrieve reservation data using booking references, simplifying the process of accessing reservation information from various providers.
