What is the Tictactrip API?
Tictactrip is a European distribution platform for long-distance ground transport. Our API gives you programmatic access to train and bus inventory from hundreds of carriers, plus a proprietary routing engine that combines several operators into a single itinerary when no direct option exists.
You integrate once. We handle carrier contracts, ticketing, payments, CO₂ computation and after-sales operations.
- Trains — high-speed, intercity and regional rail
- Buses — long-distance carriers across Europe
- Combinations — multi-leg, multi-operator itineraries
- CO₂ data — emissions per passenger, per leg
- End-to-end booking — search, reserve, pay, ticket

Frequently asked questions
Everything developers and product teams ask before integrating.
What is the Tictactrip API?
The Tictactrip API is a REST interface that lets developers search, compare and book trains and buses across Europe — including multimodal combinations of several carriers in a single itinerary.
How do I get access to the Tictactrip API?
Access to the production API is granted on request. Contact our sales team at sales@tictactrip.eu to discuss your use case, sign a commercial agreement and receive your authentication token.
Which carriers and countries are covered?
The API aggregates major European rail and bus operators including SNCF, Trenitalia, Renfe, FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, ALSA, Ouigo and many regional carriers. Coverage extends across France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Benelux and the rest of continental Europe.
How is the API priced?
Pricing depends on volume, transaction type and the carriers you need. Contact sales@tictactrip.eu to receive a tailored commercial proposal.
Do you provide CO₂ emissions data?
Yes. Every itinerary returned by the search endpoint includes the estimated CO₂ footprint per passenger, which makes it easy to surface the most eco-responsible option in your product.
How long does integration take?
Most partners go live in 2 to 6 weeks. The API exposes a clean REST surface, an OpenAPI specification and a ready-to-use Postman collection so engineering teams can prototype on day one.
In which formats are tickets delivered?
Tickets are issued as PDFs that you can email to travellers, print, or render inside your own product.
Is the API GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Tictactrip is a French company and the API is operated in compliance with the GDPR. Passenger data is processed strictly for the purpose of issuing the requested transport tickets.
