Search Tours

Get a list of tours with basic information on each, intended for listing pages.

Notes

Only returns a subset of the information TourCMS holds on each tour, intended to be enough for a listing page. To get the full details on a specific tour (i.e. once a customer has made a selection) call Show Tour.
 
If you are importing tours into your own database you should use List Tours instead.
 
Paged, returns 75 tours per page by default (maximum 200 tours per page).

Caching

If you are calling the API directly from your website (i.e. rather than populating your own database with tour data) we would recommend caching this API for around an 30 minutes. This helps you keep within API limits and to keep your site running fast. More on API caching.

Querystring parameters

Querystring parameters
ParameterNotes
tour_id
not_tour_id
Limit the results to a set list of Tours by passing in a list of IDs (or exclude by using not_tour_id). Perhaps useful if presenting a list of the alternative tours returned by Tour Show with more detail than returned directly by that API.
 
tour_id=10 (Tour ID 10 only)
tour_id=10,12,15 (Tour IDs 10, 12 and 15 only)
 
NB: Only works if searching in a specific Channel (e.g. an Operator/Supplier on their own site, or an Agent listing Tours from a certain Channel). Use channel_id_tour_id is the solution to limit to specific tour IDs over multiple channels.
channel_id_tour_id
not_channel_id_tour_id
Limit the results to a set list of Channels/Tours by passing in a list of IDs (or exclude by using not_channel_id_tour_id). Perhaps useful if presenting a list of the alternative tours returned by Tour Show with more detail than returned directly by that API.
 
channel_id_tour_id=10_8 (Tour ID 8, from Channel ID 10 only)
channel_id_tour_id=10_8,10_100,10_101 (Tour IDs 8, 100, 101 only, from Channel ID 10 only)
kKeyword - matches against Tour name, Location, Short description, Summary, Tour code
k2Keyword #2 (When used with k will be OR)
k3Keyword #3 (When used with k and k2 will be OR)
k_typeSet k_type=AND to make k, k2, k3 work as an AND (default is OR)
locationSearch by "Primary location" text field (Part matches permitted)
latLatitude of search point
longLongitude of search point
geo_typeSet to end to search tour end point. By default will search tour start point
geo_unitSet to km to set unit for proximity search to kilometres. By default will be miles
geo_distanceDefine distance for proximity search. Default 50
has_saleBy default will only return tours that have at least one bookable date in the future. Set to all to return all tours
has_offerSet to 1 to return just tours with special offers / deals available.
 
Combine with start_date_start and start_date_end to return tours with special offers available during a certain range of start dates, e.g. Christmas offers or School holiday offers.
has_sale_monthe.g. has_sale_month=1,2 to return products with something on sale EITHER in January OR February. Can be multiple or just a single month. Use this to create a basic availability search
404_tour_urlTourCMS checks the Product page URLs stored for each tour accessible via the API, by default only products with working Product page URLs will be returned.
 
Set this parameter to override that behaviour:
 
error - Return just those tours that are returning errors, handy if you are a tour operator / supplier and want to fix your URLs.
all - Return all tours, regardless of whether their Product page URL is returning an error or not. Handy if you are building an entirely API driven website, or perhaps a mobile app, and have no need to link through to the supplier website for full details.
start_dateCheck availability on a specific date, date format YYYY-MM-DD
start_date_start
start_date_end
Check availability on a range of start dates, date format YYYY-MM-DD
between_date_start
between_date_end
Check availability where start date is after between_date_start and end date is before between_date_end, date format YYYY-MM-DD.
 
Only use this when dealing with searches for multi-day product that starts and ends between a pair of dates, otherwise use start_date_start and start_date_end
duration_min
duration_max
Search by tour duration (Days)
price_range_minMinimum "From" price. Defaults to USD, use price_range_currency to specify a different currency to base ranged search on.
price_range_maxMaximum "From" price. Defaults to USD, use price_range_currency to specify a different currency to base ranged search on.
price_range_currencyCurrency to base min/max price range searches on, defaults to USD.
 
TourCMS will return prices in their original currency, however internally all prices plus the min/max range are converted to USD (using exchange rates from multiple sources) for range and ordering purposes. Due to this conversion, actual ranges may vary slightly
min_priorityMinimum commercial priority. Set to medium to return either Medium or High priority tours, set to high to return only High priority tours only - perhaps to build a "Featured Tours".
countrySearch by country - two letter ISO country code
not_countryEXCLUDE results featuring this country - two letter ISO country code
not_accomSet to 1 to EXCLUDE tour that include accommodation (Product types 1 & 3)
Handy if you are featuring tours / activities on a hotel website
accomSet to 1 to ONLY RETURN products that include accommodation (Product types 1 & 3)
Handy if you are featuring hotels on a tour/activity website
accomratingSearch by accommodation rating - comma separated list e.g. to just search for comfortable/basic products search for accomrating=4,5
product_typeSearch by product type - comma separated list e.g. to just search for products with accommodation search for product_type=1,3. List of possible types

For transfers/transport (product_type 2), you can search by airport code by searching airport_code=LGW e.g. product_type=2&airport_code=LGW
gradeSearch by grade - comma separated list e.g. to just search for extreme/challenging products search for grade=4,5
tourleader_type Search by tour leader type - comma separated list e.g. to just search for Independent / self drives search for tourleader_type=2
show_tour_tags 1 to show tour tags. Something different than 1 will avoid returning tour tags. Unlike "show_tour" endpoint, will only return tags the tour has active.
suitable_for_solo ¶Find Tours suitable for solo travellers (by setting to 1) or NOT suitable for solo travellers (by setting to 0)

The seven suitable_for_ fields are new to TourCMS and may not be fully populated by all Channels (Tour Operators) yet, thus they may not be reliable currently. They will be made mandatory shortly at which point they can be relied on.
health_and_safety_detailsSet to 1 to return only tours where some extended health & safety checklist information has been provided.
 
A detailed breakdown of the provided information is available via Show Tour.
currencySearch by currency - three letter upper case currency code (USD / EUR / GBP etc) (Only bring back products selling in a particular currency. This is a filter to reduce products shown not an application of an exchange rate)
langLanguage that the tour description is loaded in. By default will return all products. If you just want tours loaded in the English language set to en
lang_spokenLanguages spoken on the tour. Most commonly loaded for attractions that have audio guides or operate specific language groups.
 
This is a relatively new field and not all tours will have it configured. Generally speaking we would not rely on using this search parameter currently, instead you may wish to just display the languages spoken where returned.
video_serviceOptionally search for only tours that have a video, or have a video hosted by a particular service.
 
By default TourCMS will return all tours regardless of whether they have video or not, override this by passing:
 
all - Just tours with videos (hosted anywhere)
vimeo - Just tours with videos hosted by Vimeo
youtube - Just tours with videos hosted by YouTube
order
Default order
By default the results are returned in descending commercial priority followed by tour performance order, next bookable date order, "display points" value and finally alphabetically by tour name.
 
If carrying out a proximity search the default ordering will by distance to the search point, closest first. To set back to the regular default order for proximity search results, set order=comm

Overriding the default order
Alphabetical: Set order=tour_name
 
Commercial priority [Default]: Set order=comm
 
Departure date: Set order=date_soonest to order by nearest bookable date (ideal if you have a list of events and you want to show in date order). Please note that if you are searching for tours available within a date range that this is the overall next bookable date and NOT the next bookable date within a supplied date range
 
Display points: Set order=display_points_up or order=display_points_down to order by the "Display points" field in the Tour setup page. display_points_up orders by the lowest number first, which matches the instructions in the TourCMS UI. Possibly useful for Tour Operators use on their own website, likely of little use to Agents.
 
Duration: Set order=duration_up or order=duration_down
 
Price: Set order=price_up or order=price_down. For Agents searching across multiple Channels the currencies in use may vary, TourCMS internally converts all prices to USD for ordering purposes (but does not expose the calculated USD price anywhere).
 
Rating: Set order=rating_down to see the best rated/reviewed tours first (where ratings are available)
 
Special offer: To order by the most recently created special offers set to order=offer_recent, for tours with offers starting soonest then set to order=offer_soonest (use this for a "Late deals" type page).
 
Tour creation date: Set order=created_recent to order by most recently created first (similar to a blog posting style where on a blog tend to show most recent blog posts first)
qcEnable/disable "Quality control". Quality control can be switched on/off (default is off) within the Agent control panel and also overriden using this querystring parameter.
Note: This setting has no impact when a tour operator uses this API method on their own website.
 
Quality control explanation:
If you are a web affiliate sending traffic through to the suppliers website then turn qc=on to only return tours where TourCMS is confident web tracking of bookings is in place. If - rather than sending traffic to the suppliers website - you are using the API to input web bookings or enquiries then you don't need to worry about leakage via insufficient web tracking, hence can leave the quality control off. Also ensures tours meet certain image and description length criteria.
per_pageNumber of results to return per page. Default is 75. Max is 200
pageInteger for which page number to return. Default is page 1
If API called by Tour Operator (not Marketplace Agent)
category
ANDcategory
ORcategory
NOTcategory
Tour Operators / Suppliers can define product Categories to aid grouping their products into Product filters (collections) for internal use in reporting, or for grouping products on their website. Learn more.
 
Example Categories might include "Activity type" (with possible values of "Rafting", "Mountain Biking", "Hiking") or for Hotel type products you might have "Accommodation rating" (with possible values of "5 Star", "3 Star" or "Boutique").
 
There are three parameters that can be used to search these. If searching just a single category then any of the parameters can be used, however the most logical would be category, e.g to search for Rafting use the following...
 
category=Rafting
 
...to search for either Rafting OR Hiking...
 
ORcategory=Rafting|Hiking
 
...to search for Tours that contain both Rafting AND Hiking...
 
ANDcategory=Rafting|Hiking
 
NOTcategory, can be used to tell TourCMS which products to exclude from the results,for example to search for all products that feature Rafting but not Hiking....
 
category=Rafting&NOTcategory=Hiking
tour_tags
ANDtour_tags
ORtour_tags
NOTtour_tags

Tour Operators / Suppliers can define product tour tags to aid grouping products on their website.

Example tour tags might include notes about what an activity is suitable for.

There are three parameters that can be used to search these. If searching just a single tour_tags then any of the parameters can be used, however the most logical would be tour_tags

e.g to search for animals use the following... tour_tags=animals

To search for either animals OR romantic... ORtour_tags=animals|romantic

To search for Tours that contain both animals AND romantic... ANDtour_tags=animals|romantic

NOTtour_tags, can be used to tell TourCMS which products to exclude from the results,for example to search for all products that feature animals but not romantic... tour_tags=animals&NOTtour_tags=romantic

booking_style Generally only useful for affiliates linking to the operator booking engine. If you are placing bookings via API as a Trusted Travel Agent you can omit this parameter.
 
Affiliates may choose to set this parameter to booking to only return Tours from Channels (Operators) that take confirmed online bookings (e.g. will ignore Tours from any Channels who take online "bookings" as an Enquiry or Quotation stage of the process)


Searching by Keyword

As described in the table above there are two parameters (k and k2) that can be used to search Tours by keyword, here are a few examples of their use:

k=Rafting
Returns all Tours containing the text "Rafting"
k=Rafting&k2=Kayaking
Returns all Tours containing the text "Rafting" and/or the text "Kayaking"
k=White+water+rafting
Returns all Tours containing the text "White water rafting"

Keyword searching is NOT case-sensitive.
