Intro
GetThere is a corporate travel reservation system serving millions of business travelers in over 100 countries. To learn more about the GetThere API, visit their page (https://www.sabretravelnetwork.com/h...ons/developer/).
You connect to your GetThere account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the GetThere connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Best Practices
The GetThere API only returns the last 7 days worth of data. Set the connector to Append to build a history of data over time, starting with the previous 7 days and appending new data each time it runs.
Prerequisites
To connect to your GetThere account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
The travel/agency site name you want to retrieve data for.
-
Your GetThere username and password.
Connecting to Your GetThere Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the GetThere Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your GetThere account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Site Name |
Enter the name of the travel/agency site you want to retrieve data for. |
Username |
Enter your GetThere username. |
Password |
Enter your GetThere password. |
Once you have entered valid GetThere credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new GetThere DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.

FAQs
Can I use the same account multiple times to create DataSets?
Yes.
How often can the data be updated?
DataSets can be updated as often as once an hour. If you get rate limit errors, update the DataSets less frequently.
Are there any API limits I should be aware of?
The GetThere API has rate limits, but they are not documented. If you run into rate limit errors, try running your DataSets less often, or decrease the amount of data called in a single DataSet run with smaller date ranges.
