Egencia API
Egencia is a corporate travel management platform used by businesses to book flights, hotels, cars, and rail while enforcing travel policy, approvals, and negotiated rates. An unofficial API lets you pull traveler profiles, trips and PNRs, segment-level itinerary details, policy/appro
What is Egencia?
Egencia is a cloud-based corporate travel management solution—part of American Express Global Business Travel—that centralizes booking, policy enforcement, approvals, traveler profiles, supplier content, and analytics for enterprises. Travel managers use Egencia to define policies, negotiate rates, and monitor compliance; employees and arrangers book trips across air, hotel, car, and rail; finance teams reconcile invoices and receipts; and risk teams manage duty-of-care.
Core product areas include:
- Booking & Inventory Access (Air, Hotel, Car, Rail; negotiated rates; corporate cards)
- Traveler Management (Profiles, Roles, Cost Centers, Status, Preferences)
- Policy & Approvals (Policy tiers, pre-trip approvals, exceptions, budget controls)
- Trips & Itineraries (PNR record locators, segment details, confirmations, changes)
- Financials & Reporting (Invoices, Receipts, Taxes, Currencies, Allocation/GL, Analytics)
- Risk & Duty of Care (Traveler tracking, alerts, compliance flags)
Common data entities:
- Companies, Users/Travelers, Arrangers, Approvers, Roles/Permissions
- Travel Policies and Approval Workflows
- Trips (metadata, status, PNR, record locator, dates)
- Segments (Air, Hotel, Car, Rail: supplier, times, locations, ticket/confirmation numbers)
- Bookings (references, status, fare/rate details, change/cancel eligibility)
- Invoices & Receipts (line items, taxes, totals, currency, PDF artifacts)
- Cost Centers, Departments, GL/Allocation Codes
The Egencia Integration Challenge
Teams rely on Egencia daily, but turning portal-based travel workflows into API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Limited data exports: Many customers report reliance on scheduled CSV reports and manual downloads; real-time access often requires custom feeds or add-on costs
- Role-aware portals: Travelers, arrangers, approvers, and travel managers each see different views and permissions
- Policy/approval constraints: Pre-trip approvals, exceptions, and budget thresholds add workflow complexity
- Authentication layers: SSO/MFA and session lifecycles complicate unattended automation
- Data fragmentation: Key context spans trips, segments, invoices, and policies with details spread across multiple pages
- Change/cancel nuances: Fare rules, cancellation windows, vouchers/refunds, and supplier-specific behaviors must be handled carefully

API Endpoints
Authentication
/sessionsEstablish a session using credentials. Supergood manages MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and SSO/OAuth when enabled. Returns a short-lived auth token maintained by the platform.
Authentication
/sessions/refreshRefresh an existing token to keep sessions uninterrupted.
Travelers
/travelersList traveler profiles with policy, cost center, and role details.
Trips
/tripsList trips with segment-level itinerary details and policy compliance.
Invoices
/invoicesRetrieve posted invoices and receipt artifacts for reconciliation.
Bookings
/bookings/{bookingId}/cancelCancel a booking segment (air, hotel, car) within a trip, capturing refund/voucher details.
Use Cases
Traveler Provisioning & Profile Sync

Frequently asked questions
Supergood supports workflows across commonly used modules such as Traveler Management (Profiles, Roles), Trips & Itineraries (Air, Hotel, Car, Rail), Policy & Approvals (Pre-trip approvals, Exceptions), and Financials (Invoices, Receipts), subject to your licensing and entitlements. We scope coverage during integration assessment.
We support username/password + MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and can operate behind SSO/OAuth when enabled. Sessions are refreshed automatically with secure challenge handling.
Yes. We can normalize invoices, receipts, and allocation data to match your ERP/expense schema (e.g., SAP Concur, Expensify) and deliver updates via webhooks or polling while complying with rate and permission constraints.
Yes. We can read and update approval states (with audit metadata) and perform cancellations where enabled, modeling refund/voucher outcomes and policy exceptions.
