Shopping test requests
To assist you in testing your integration's handling of possible shopping error states, test requests are available for all methods of the Rapid Shopping API.
Important test Shopping notes
- To send a test request for the Rapid Shopping API method, include an additional HTTP header named test in your booking request and use the appropriate value from the tables below.
- Failing to send a test header or sending an invalid test header will cause the shopping to be processed live.
- Using a test header will result in a static 'canned' message returned as a response. Therefore, rates/content etc. returned may not be relevant with the properties being tested.
