Headers

Some special headers that could make your quality of life easier.

Request Headers
Header
Description
Accept-Language
This conforms to the regular HTTP specification for language but if the supplier has translated their content it will return the content in the specified language if possible. Also all error messages will be translated. eg. Accept-Language: fr the server will then respond with Language: fr depending on if that language was available.
Octo-Env
This header will mark any booking you perform with live credentials as a test sale. This will mean it will not consume any availability, the barcodes will not work, and you will not be invoiced for it. e.g. Octo-Env: test and to turn it off, change the value to live.
Octo-Capabilities
A list of the capabilities to be included in the response 
e.g. Octo-Capabilities: octo/pricing, octo/content 
When missing response defaults to include all capabilities configured for your connection by Ventrata or the supplier.
Content-Type
This must be application/json for all POST PATCH and DELETE requests.
Referer
This is only used with checkout connections but allows a sale to be associated to a reseller using their referer.
Response Headers
Header
