DiscountNetwork.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Usages

Session

Session API allow you to authenticate a subscriber, create a new session or destroying an existing session.

DiscountNetwork::Session.create(
  name: "username", password: "secret_password"
)

Account

Find user account

To retrieve the user account details using the Discount Network account API

#
# The `auth_token` is optional, if you don't pass any
# parameter then it will try to retrieve the subscriber
# using the `auth_token` configuration.
#

DiscountNetwork::Account.find(auth_token)

Create a user account

To create a new user account you can use the Account.create interface, but one important things to remember that account creation is not available for all white label, so if it's failing then most likely this feature is not supported on your white label.

DiscountNetwork::Account.create(subscriber_attributes)

Update user account

Once the user is logged in and auth_token has been configured properly then we can update the user details using the DiscountNetwork account API

DiscountNetwork::Account.update(subscriber_attributes)

Activation

Find a subscriber

The activation offers an easier way to find the subscriber details based on the activation_token. To find a subscriber use

DiscountNetwork::Activation.find(activation_token)

Activate a subscriber

Once subscriber has provided their required information then we can activate their account using the Activation API. The API already has validations in place but it would be easier to implement some validation before sending any activation API request.

DiscountNetwork::Activation.activate(
  activation_token, subscriber_attributes
)

Password

Forgot password

If the subscriber forgot their password then developer can allow them to reset their password using the Discount network API.

DiscountNetwork::Password.forgot(email_address)

Validate reset token

Before allowing subscriber to reset their password, developer can validate if the reset token is valid or not as expired or invalid reset token won't allow subscriber to reset their password.

DiscountNetwork::Password.validate(reset_token)

Set new password

Once subscriber has submitted a valid reset request and followed the instruction then we can allow them to set their password as follow

DiscountNetwork::Password.create(reset_token, password_attributes)

Supplementary

Each Discount Network subscription comes with varies number of supplementary subscribers, that means primary member can add one or more of this friends or family member to his subscription. The supplementary API provides an easier way to manage the supplementary subscribers. Please note, This interface expects that the subscriber has already been authenticated before making any API call.

List supplementaries

To list all the supplementary subscribers for the authenticated subscriber developer can use the list interface for supplementary.

DiscountNetwork::Supplementary.list

Add supplementary

To add a new supplementary subscriber with authenticated subscriber's subscription developer can use the create interface for supplementary.

DiscountNetwork::Supplementary.create(
  subscriber_attributes
)

# subscriber attributes
subscriber_attributes = {
  first_name: "John",
  last_name: "Green",
  phone: "+1 123 345 5678",
  email: "[email protected]"
}

Destination

DiscountNetwork::Destination.list(term: "bangkok")

You can create a new search using the API. Please note: It's advisable to wait 10-15 seconds before trying to retrieve the search results.

#
# If you need to add multiple properties in one request, like one
# hotel and a condo in one booking request, then pass an Array as
#`properties: [property_one_attributes, property_two_attributes]`

DiscountNetwork::Booking.create(
  hotel_id: "hotel_id",
  search_id: "search_id",
  travellers: traveller_attributes,

)
