Booking.com Taxi Sandbox¶

Getting started with the Sandbox¶

What does it do?¶

The Booking.com Taxi Public API Sandbox is a test environment in which you can test your functional flows as a Taxi Supply Partner for rates search, booking management, driver tracking and more, as you go through the development process to connect.

Before you begin you will need API endpoint URLs and credentials. These can be provided by your account manager.

If you’re not already a Booking.com Taxi Partner then please, contact us.

Why use it?¶

In order to maintain the security of our services, we require all potential partners to integrate with our Sandbox before our main API.

How does it work?¶

Just like in the production API, your Client ID and Secret can be used to retrieve a token. This token is then used to authenticate requests to Public API endpoints. See the “Authentication” section for more information.

Once you have successfully authenticated, you will be able to make requests to our endpoints for booking management and driver tracking.

In order to test the rates search flow you must first follow the instructions in the “Webhooks” section to set up endpoints for our Search Webhook to call you. Once you’ve done that, check the references below for further information on how to test the rates search flow.
