How pickups work with the API
Once a pickup is configured for a certain product, the product detail will contain a field pickupId. The Id value is not required for further use in other API calls (it's for the future purpose), for now on it just means the pickups are configured for this product.
GET https://api.rezdy.com/latest/products/marketplace?apiKey=[API KEY]
RESPONSE:
{
"requestStatus": {
"success": true,
"version": "v1"
},
"products": [
{
"productCode": "PKVT0E",
"pickupId": 83,
...
To retrieve configured pickup for the certain product, with a list of all pickup location, call the service:
GET https://api.rezdy.com/latest/products/PKVT0E/pickups?apiKey=[API_KEY]
RESPONSE:
{
"requestStatus": {
"success": false,
"version": "v1"
},
"pickupLocations": [
{
"locationName": "Maroubra Beach",
"address": "Maroubra Beach, New South Wales, Australia",
"latitude": -33.94731489999999,
"longitude": 151.25750340000002,
"minutesPrior": 55,
"additionalInstructions": "In front of the Maroubra seal surfing club building."
},
{
"locationName": "Coggee",
"address": "Coogee, New South Wales, Australia",
"minutesPrior": 45,
"additionalInstructions": "The parking lot at the north side of the beach"
},
{
"locationName": "Bondi Junction",
"address": "Bondi Junction, New South Wales, Australia",
"latitude": -33.8927878,
"longitude": 151.2472206,
"minutesPrior": 30,
"additionalInstructions": "In front of the Westfield shopping mall"
}
]
}
To specify a pickup location for a booking, you just need to send one locationName field value from pickupLocations list.
POST https://api.rezdy.com/latest/bookings?apiKey=[API_KEY]
REQUEST:
{
"items":
[
{
"productCode": "PKVT0E",
"startTimeLocal": "2016-07-11 14:00:00",
"quantities":
[
{
"optionLabel": "Adult",
"value": "1"
}
],
"pickupLocation":
{
"locationName": "Maroubra Beach"
}
}
],
"payments":
[
]
}
System will store the pickup location, calculate pickup time and return the pickup instructions.
RESPONSE:
{
"requestStatus": {
"success": true,
"version": "v1"
},
"booking": {
"orderNumber": "R3MPR7Z",
...
"items": [
{
"productName": "DEMO - One day SCUBA diving",
"productCode": "PKVT0E",
"startTime": "2016-07-11T04:00:00Z",
....
"pickupLocation": {
"locationName": "Maroubra Beach",
"address": "Maroubra Beach, New South Wales, Australia",
"pickupTime": "2016-07-11 13:05:00",
"pickupInstructions": "In front of the Maroubra seal surfing club building.\r\nPlease be ready 15 minutes before pickup time."
}
}
],
....
It is also possible to specify a custom pickup location (should be maybe discussed with the product supplier if this option is feasible):
REQUEST:
{
"items":
[
{
"productCode": "PKVT0E",
"startTimeLocal": "2016-07-11 14:00:00",
"quantities":
[
{
"optionLabel": "Adult",
"value": "1"
}
],
"pickupLocation":
{
"locationName": "Circular Quay"
}
}
],
"payments":
[
]
}
In this case system stores the pickup location (obviously it can't calculate the other fields like pickup time or address) and returns the custom pickup location instructions (if they were specified by the supplier).
RESPONSE:
{
"requestStatus": {
"success": true,
"version": "v1"
},
"booking": {
"orderNumber": "R3MPR7Z",
...
"items": [
{
"productName": "DEMO - One day SCUBA diving",
"productCode": "PKVT0E",
"startTime": "2016-07-11T04:00:00Z",
....
"pickupLocation": {
"locationName": "Circular Quay",
"pickupInstructions": "We will contact you to confirm your pickup location and the pickup time.\r\nPlease be ready 15 minutes before pickup time."
}
}
],

Although I have tried to understand this feature, I can't figure out if it is avaiable for shuttle/transfer type products. This might explain why we don't see this feature attribute in any of our products.. Please advise.
Hi Scott, I'm afraid at this time we do not support the pickup feature for shuttle products. Adding support for shuttles is in our roadmap and I will update you once we have a clear ETA.
Is there anyway to make the pick up +15 minutes? Eg when the pick up location is on the way to our destination?
Hi Kate, yes it's possible, you can enter a negative time prior to a tour start time.
But I wanted a positive time (not negative). So say the departure is 8.00 am but the pick up from this place is 8.15 am.
to have a positive pickup time e.g. 8:15, you have to set negative time prior to departure, when configuring the pickup (-15)
