About this Project

How it Works

Ti2 has a core codebase of standardized industry functions (new, update, cancel, etc.) for bookings, content, and rates - with more to come. Plugins are used to connect to the Ti2 to perform a task (like create a booking). There are two types of plugins: Integration and App.

Integration Plugins are used to connect core systems, like booking/reservation or content management systems, to Ti2. For example, you would use a Integration Plugin to connect Ventrata to Ti2. You would do this to be able to accept bookings from another system (like an OTA) connected to Ti2. Ti2 allows any Integration Plugin to communicate with each other; therefore, once a Integration Plugin is live, no one ever needs to write a custom integration for that system again.

App Plugins are value added tools that only speak to Ti2 and other plugins. For example, you might create an App Plugin that sends email notifications every morning with a list of all active bookings for the day. You would retrieve the list of bookings for the day by using a System Plugin.

Ti2 can be deployed on your own servers, or you can connect to a Ti2 instance that another company is hosting.

Getting Started

You can write your [own plugin]{@tutorial plugin-development} that hooks up to a Ti2 instance or you can run a server that that hosts your [own Ti2 instance]{@tutorial setup-your-instance} with any plugins (your own or from the plugin library).

Plugins

Plugins are the connectores to other systems and/or features you intent to use; by default the server will start an API service on port 10010 and the swagger documentation on the path //api-docs, (you can disable wither by passing the startServer param as False or the apiDocs as False.
