There are several API methods that can be used to get the dates & prices for a specific Tour:
The most commonly used method. Will return a list of available start dates (and matching end dates for multi-day tours) available for a given Tour, optionally filtered by start date range. Includes dates generated by Departures, Freesale seasons and Hotel type products.
Great for building an availability calendar or listing special offers for a particular Tour.
Lists all departures for a particular Tour, possibly useful for importing into a database however in most instances the Dates and deals method should be used instead.
Allows access to the raw departure data, before markup/currency conversion etc is applied. Designed for tour operators building external tools / integrations to manage their own dates and prices, not designed for agent use or marketing website display
It's also possible to get lists of Tours/Hotels with availability during certain time periods:
Supports searching for Tours/Hotels available in a certain month, or starting within a certain date range.
A specialised version of the Search Tours/Hotels API call that supports searching for Hotel room availability.
