Europe-based travel management specialist TravelPerk has rolled out a new API-based service that allows third-party providers to offer their clients its Covid-19-related data, including infection levels, travel restrictions and airline safety measures.
Dubbed TravelSafe API, the tool can be integrated via application programming interface into the websites and apps of airlines, travel agents and booking platforms. The information is gathered from official sources and local government websites and cross-referenced by customer care agents. TravelSafe is available as a monthly subscription service.
TravelSafe is TravelPerk's first-ever standalone service, and the first product the company has internally built and opened up to external travel providers under its new open-API platform model, rolled out last month. TravelSafe was designed using technology from Albatross, the risk management startup TravelPerk acquiredin July.
