Steps
read octo.travel/specification and docs.octo.travel: OCTO (Open Connectivity for Tours, Activities, and Attractions) is a free, open, membership-not-required API standard for the in-destination experiences sector, administered by the not-for-profit OCTO Standards NP Inc
review the core resource model: Suppliers (the operator being connected to), Products (with Options and Units), Availability (windows, capacity, scheduling), and Bookings (create/confirm/cancel with standardized status flows)
check docs.octo.travel's getting-started endpoints-and-capabilities page for the full list of core vs. optional capabilities (e.g. Pricing, Content, Notifications, Pickups/Dropoffs, Promotions) and which are stable vs. draft
reference the official machine-readable OCTO OpenAPI Specification (published on SwaggerHub) and the OCTO GitHub org for schema-level detail
check docs.octo.travel's known-implementations page for a list of platforms (Ventrata, Peek Pro, Xola, Zaui, Anchor, and others) that have adopted the spec, to identify who to integrate with
use the self-certification tool referenced in docs.octo.travel's change log to validate an implementation against the spec
Known gotchas
the spec is explicitly free and open with no membership required to read or implement it, but membership is required for implementation support, early access to changes, and a voice in governance/tooling
not all capabilities are equally mature: some optional capabilities like Pickups and Dropoffs were only published in late 2025 and Promotions remains a draft, so real-world supplier support for newer optional capabilities will vary
OCTO is a standard, not a single API you can call directly — each supplier platform (Ventrata, Peek Pro, etc.) runs its own OCTO-compliant server with its own base URL and credentialing, so integrating with OCTO always means integrating with a specific vendor's implementation of it
