🎯 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:

Read command guide to understand syntax
Use agent to see commands in action
Experiment with different searches
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.

📝 Example Commands

python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX'

# JSON output
python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX' --json

# With filters
python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX¥AA-J' --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

🤝 Integration Examples

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'

# Save to file
python3 sabre_agent/tools/sabre_api.py '115JUNNYCLAX' > results.txt
