integrate tiqets inventory via the distributor api for product catalogue, availability, and bookings

Steps

1. become a Tiqets partner by contacting Tiqets affiliates support; self-generated API keys initially only unlock the catalog (products) and availability endpoints, advanced/booking access requires Tiqets to review and approve your request
2. generate API keys from the Tiqets partner portal under Tools > API tokens, and send the key as an 'Authorization: Token <API_key>' header on every request
3. use the Content API and Availability & Pricing API (GET /products/{productId}/availability) to fetch product listings, opening times, live availability, and pricing (max 31 days of availability per request, up to 1 year out)
4. to book, sign requests per Tiqets' JWT signing guide, then call POST /orders (Create Order, which reserves for 30 minutes) followed by Confirm Order; use Get Order Information, Retrieve Tickets, or Cancel Order as needed
5. before production Booking API access is granted, pass Tiqets' recorded-demo acceptance process against the Test environment (e.g. create/confirm orders for test products, plus a cancellation) and submit the recording to Tiqets API support
6. subscribe to Product Change Notifications (PCN) webhooks and the Order Change Notification webhook to stay in sync with off-sale/availability and order-status changes
