Searches are asynchronous: this answers `202` at once with the search in `PROCESSING` status while the travel suppliers answer in the background. Poll the search with its `id` until `status` is `COMPLETED` — or `FAILED` — to read the results. A vehicle search lasts 30 minutes (see `ttl`); after that, create it again. Creating the same search again while it lasts returns the same `id`, and only your organization can read the searches it created. Find `pickUpLocation` and `dropOffLocation` with the locations endpoint. To book a result, open the item for its fare options, then create a trip with the item's `id` as `searchItemId` and the chosen fare option's `id` as `fareId`. An error the travel provider reports about the request — an unknown place, say — is returned with its own status, `code` and `message`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/travel.openapi.json post /realms/{realmId}/organizations/{organizationId}/vehicle/searches openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Travel version: 1.0.0 description: >- Portão 3 travel API. Every endpoint requires a bearer token in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer ) unless its page states otherwise; see the Authentication guide. That requirement is not repeated per endpoint. Generated by tools/openapi from code (routes + security) and the hand-written spec (request/response bodies). Passenger directory, trips and the search proxy (air/hotel/bus/vehicle). Every route validates path, query and body through a zod Input class (`travel/src/domain/*/input`), which documents its parameters and body; responses are the named interfaces in `travel/src/domain/*/response.ts`.
