🌟 Features

Command Guide Features

✅ Complete Sabre command syntax reference ✅ Real-world examples for every command type ✅ Quick reference tables ✅ Troubleshooting section ✅ Best practices from industry experts

Agent Features

✅ Intelligent search planning ✅ Sabre SOAP API integration ✅ Adaptive search strategies ✅ Result interpretation and analysis ✅ Error handling and alternatives ✅ Claude Code integration ✅ JSON output support

🎯 Common Use Cases

Manual Terminal Use

Use the Command Guide to learn Sabre syntax and work directly in Red 360 terminal:

1. Open Sabre Red 360
2. Refer to SABRE_RED_360_TICKET_SEARCH_GUIDE.md
3. Type commands directly
4. Create PNR and book flights

Automated API Searches

Use the Flight Search Agent for programmatic access:

# Single command
python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX' --json

# Or let the agent plan and execute
# (via Claude Code or custom integration)

Learning and Training

Use both components together:

1. Read command guide to understand syntax
2. Use agent to see commands in action
3. Experiment with different searches
4. Build your Sabre expertise

🔐 API Credentials

The agent is pre-configured with CERT (test) environment credentials:

• Environment: CERT (https://webservices.cert.platform.sabre.com)
• Username: 302596
• Password: lon23don
• PCC: U3VL

⚠️ Note: These are test credentials. For production use, obtain your own credentials from Sabre and update sabre_agent/config.json.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Command Guide Issues

• Q: What does "Invalid Format" mean?
• A: Check command syntax in the guide, verify date format (DDMMM)

Agent Issues

• Q: API returns "Authentication failed"

• A: Verify credentials in sabre_agent/config.json

• Q: "No availability" for every search

• A: Check date format, verify route exists, try removing filters

• Q: Python packages missing

• A: Run pip install -r sabre_agent/requirements.txt

Test the Setup

cd sabre_agent
./test_agent.sh

With Claude Code

# Natural language request
"Use the Sabre agent to find business class flights from
London to Singapore on August 20th"

# Claude Code will:
# 1. Load agent prompt
# 2. Plan search strategy
# 3. Execute Sabre commands
# 4. Present results

With Python

from sabre_agent.tools.sabre_api import SabreAPIClient

client = SabreAPIClient("302596", "lon23don", "U3VL", "cert")
result = client.execute_command("115JUNNYCLAX")

if result['success']:
    print(result['response_text'])

client.close_session()

Command Line

# Pipe to JSON processor
python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX' --json | jq '.response_text'
