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 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.
