TravelPerk Integration Guide
Integrate TravelPerk with enterprise systems through its OAuth 2.0-secured REST APIs, selected event notifications, and Martini workflows.
TravelPerk integration options at a glance
TravelPerk provides an API-led integration model based primarily on REST APIs and OAuth 2.0 authorization. Martini can retrieve Trips, Bookings, Users, Companies, Invoices, and travel-policy data through workflows, using documented filters, pagination, and incremental checkpoints for synchronization. TravelPerk webhook or callback support may be available for selected events and should be confirmed for the relevant account and product. A general-purpose bulk API, broad attachment API, GraphQL API, SOAP API, SDK, and direct database access were not confirmed. Martini can transform TravelPerk JSON, apply business rules, expose normalized APIs, and route data to finance, HR, identity, analytics, and collaboration applications.

Authentication and security considerations
OAuth 2.0 authorization
TravelPerk's developer platform documents OAuth 2.0-based API authorization. Required application approval, scopes, grant flow, and token lifetime should be confirmed against the current TravelPerk configuration.
Secrets and transport
- Store OAuth client credentials, tokens, scopes, and endpoint configuration in Martini secrets and environment configuration.
- Use HTTPS for TravelPerk API requests.
- Request only the permissions needed for the selected objects and operations.
- Plan for token expiration, refresh, revocation, and credential rotation.
Travel data protection
- Minimize personal and itinerary data transferred to each destination.
- Restrict access to traveler and invoice data by role and business need.
- Prevent OAuth tokens, payment data, and unnecessary personal information from entering logs.
Operational considerations for TravelPerk integrations
Pagination and checkpoints
Assume list endpoints may be paginated unless the current endpoint documentation states otherwise. Persist a cursor or timestamp only after successful processing and periodically revisit a time window for late updates.
Rate limits and retries
Confirm current TravelPerk limits for the relevant plan and endpoint. Limit concurrency and use exponential backoff for HTTP 429 and transient 5xx responses; do not blindly retry validation or authorization failures.
Idempotency
Use stable identifiers for Trips, Bookings, Users, and Invoices. For selected event flows, store event identifiers or source-object/version combinations and use idempotent downstream upserts.
Schema and testing
Monitor booking statuses, traveler fields, invoice structures, pagination behavior, and API-version changes. Validate required fields and maintain contract tests against representative TravelPerk responses.
Reconciliation
Use hybrid synchronization where appropriate: notifications can initiate targeted retrieval, while scheduled reconciliation detects missed events and corrects data drift.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestrated integration logic
Martini coordinates TravelPerk API calls, pagination, transformations, business rules, downstream writes, and exception handling in workflows rather than scattering behavior across scripts.
Reusable and maintainable assets
Common authentication, mapping, validation, privacy, and reconciliation logic can be organized into reusable integration assets and exposed through controlled Martini APIs.
Reliable operations
- Apply checkpoints, idempotency, retries, and reconciliation consistently.
- Separate transient failures from validation and authorization failures.
- Provide operational visibility and replay paths for failed Bookings, Invoices, and event-driven processes.
API-led flexibility
Martini can consume the documented TravelPerk REST API and expose normalized APIs to internal applications, avoiding a brittle point-to-point design while retaining the option for custom logic when vendor-specific rules require it.
