How to group flight segments/legs in Bargain Finder Max? - json

Question

I am trying to search for flights between two places in Sabre using BargainFindermax API. The API provides me with a list of all flights. However, there is no direct relation to which of the flights are linked.
For example, I searched for flights between BLR > LCY. The response I got included flights for AMS > LCY, BLR > DEL, BLR > DEL, DEL > AMS, AMS > LCY.
From this, I can construct the following route BLR > DEL > AMS > LCY. But there are two flights for BLR > DEL and AMS > LCY.
How can I identify which of these flights are related?
Here is the complete JSON response,

Answer 1

You have to use legDescs list to connect your segments, and use those "ref" values.
For example:
{
"id": 2,
"schedules": [
{
"ref": 3
},
{
"departureDateAdjustment": 1,
"ref": 4
},
{
"departureDateAdjustment": 1,
"ref": 1
}
]
}
means, your flight with ID = 2 contains 3 segments, with id 3 - 4 and 1. When you search numbered segments in "scheduleDescs" object, you can see routes are:
BLR - DEL
DEL - AMS
AMS - LCY
and as you can see you got the BLR - LCY flight.
