Conventions and Standards

Documents the data formats and conventions used throughout the Tiqets Distributor API

All API responses are returned in JSON format. Some text fields may include basic HTML markup, such as the following tags: <br>, <p>, <b>, <strong>, <em>, <i>, <ul>, and <li>.

🗓️ Dates and times

Generally speaking, date and time are returned in this format:

  • date fields follow the ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2025-04-25).

  • time fields follow the ISO 8601 as 24-hour clock: HH:MM (e.g., 17:30).

All date and time fields related to availability or visit times are provided in the local time zone of the experience. The time zone is returned in the tz format, e.g.:

"timezone": "Europe/Paris"

Please be aware that products in time zones behind your local time zone can be available and accept orders for 'yesterday' according to your own time zone.

In some cases, such as for the order creation timestamp, a full ISO 8601 timestamp is used. This includes seconds, microseconds, and a time zone offset.

"2025-04-14T11:37:50.194835+00:00"

This format represents a precise point in time, including:

  • T separator between date and time

  • microseconds: .194835

  • timezone offset: +00:00 (UTC)

💶 Currency and amount format

  • Currency amounts are represented as decimal numbers using a dot (.) as the decimal separator (e.g., 22.00).

  • In some cases, amounts are nested inside an object with a currency code:

This structure is used for values such as prices, commissions, fees, and totals. The currency is typically consistent across all products in a single API request, but it is good practice always to read it from the response.

Languages

Many endpoints accept a language parameter as input or include a language in the output. These are the languages currently supported by Tiqets. If omitted, the default language is always English.
