Requires a UBTRIPPIN API key from ubtrippin.xyz/settings.

# UBTRIPPIN Skill
**UBTRIPPIN** is a personal travel tracker that parses booking confirmation emails and organises them into trips. It also handles event tickets — concerts, theater, sports, festivals — from providers like Ticketmaster, AXS, Eventbrite, and more. As an agent, you can read and manage a user's trips, items (flights, hotels, trains, tickets/events, etc.), loyalty vault, family groups, city guides, and more via REST API.
---
## Setup (First Time)
1. Ask your user to visit **ubtrippin.xyz/settings** and generate an API key.
2. The key looks like: `ubt_k1_<40 hex chars>`. Store it securely.
3. Ask for their **registered sender email** — the email address they use to forward bookings (typically their personal inbox). This is their "allowed sender" in UBTRIPPIN.
4. You'll need both to operate: the API key for reads/writes, the email address for adding new bookings via forwarding.
5. After setup, call `GET /api/v1/me/profile` and offer to set the user's home airport, currency preference, and seat preference via `PATCH /api/v1/me/profile`.
---
## Authentication
All API calls use a Bearer token:
```
Authorization: Bearer ubt_k1_<your_key>
```
Base URL: `https://www.ubtrippin.xyz`
**Rate limit:** 100 requests/minute per API key. HTTP 429 if exceeded — back off 60 seconds.

## Adding New Bookings (Email Forwarding)
The primary way to add bookings is **email forwarding**. When your user receives a booking confirmation:
1. Forward the email to: **trips@ubtrippin.xyz**
2. **Must forward from their registered sender address** — UBTRIPPIN rejects unknown senders.
3. UBTRIPPIN's AI parser extracts the booking details automatically (usually within 30 seconds).
4. The item appears in the relevant trip (or a new trip is created).
**How to do this as an agent:**
- Use your email sending capability to forward the email from the user's address to trips@ubtrippin.xyz.
- Or instruct the user to do it manually from their inbox.
- PDF attachments (e.g. eTickets) are supported — include them in the forward.
**Works with:** flights, hotels, trains (Eurostar, SNCF, Thalys, etc.), rental cars, ferry bookings, concert/event tickets (Ticketmaster, AXS, Eventbrite, Dice, SeeTickets, StubHub, Viagogo), and most major booking platforms (Booking.com, Expedia, Kayak, Trainline, etc.).

## Error Handling
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|--------|------|---------|
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Missing/invalid API key |
| 400 | `invalid_param` | Bad UUID or missing field |
| 404 | `not_found` | Trip/item not found or belongs to another user |
| 429 | _(body varies)_ | Rate limited — wait 60s |
| 500 | `internal_error` | Server error — retry once |
All errors return: `{ "error": { "code": "...", "message": "..." } }`
---
## Notes for Agents
- All IDs are UUIDs.
- Dates are ISO 8601 (`YYYY-MM-DD` for dates, `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ` for timestamps).
- `details_json` contains raw parsed data — useful for confirmation numbers, seat assignments, loyalty numbers, etc.
- `confidence` (0–1): how confident the AI parser was. Items with `needs_review: true` may have errors.
- The API key is the user's — never share it, log it, or store it beyond the session unless the user explicitly asks.
---
## Managing API Keys
Users manage keys at **ubtrippin.xyz/settings**. Each key has a name and a masked preview. If a key is compromised, the user can revoke it from the settings page and generate a new one.
