For Agents

Search Lufthansa partner fares, retrieve booked orders, track baggage, and trigger pre-flight auto check-in for an issued ticket number.

Connect the LH Partner API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the LH Partner API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with LH Partner API API.

Use for: I need to find the lowest published fare from Frankfurt to New York next month, Generate a Lufthansa booking deep link with my partner tracking parameters, Retrieve an existing Lufthansa order using the order ID and passenger surname, Look up the trip and contact details for a missing baggage tag

Not supported: Does not handle hotel booking, car rental, payment capture, or the actual ticketing transaction — use for Lufthansa partner fare search, deep-linking, order retrieval, baggage lookup, and pre-flight check-in only.

The LH Partner API exposes Lufthansa's partner-only flight commerce surface, covering fare search, deep links into the Lufthansa booking flow, order retrieval, baggage tracking, and pre-flight auto check-in. It is intended for travel agencies, tour operators, and approved redistributors who hold a partner agreement with Lufthansa Group. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials against the Lufthansa partner token endpoint, and operations span 16 endpoints covering fares, OND routing, promotions, orders, baggage, and pre-flight services.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use LH Partner API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Partner fare shopping and deep-linking

Travel agencies and meta-search partners use the fares endpoints to surface Lufthansa Group prices alongside other carriers, then hand off to the Lufthansa.com booking flow via a generated deep link rather than rebuilding the full booking funnel. The /offers/fares endpoints return all-fares, best-fares, and lowest-fares variants, and /offers/fares/deeplink (plus FFP and ITCO variants) constructs the redirect URL with partner tracking attached. This avoids holding PCI scope while still earning partner attribution.

Call /offers/fares/lowestfares for FRA to JFK on 2026-09-15 and return the cheapest fare plus a deep link to complete the booking on lufthansa.com.

Post-booking baggage and order servicing

After a partner-issued booking, agents need to service the passenger without rebooking through the contact centre. The /orders/orders/{orderID}/{name} endpoint retrieves the current order state, and /baggage/baggagetripandcontact/{searchID} returns the trip and contact data tied to a baggage tag — useful for chat-based travel assistants handling delayed-bag enquiries. The /preflight/autocheckin/{ticketnumber} endpoint can opt the passenger into automatic check-in for the trip.

Look up baggage record AB123456 via /baggage/baggagetripandcontact/{searchID} and return the trip itinerary plus the registered contact email.

Agent-driven Lufthansa partner integration via Jentic

An AI travel concierge needs to expose Lufthansa fares and booking actions without managing OAuth client credential rotation, partner-only base URL routing, or the difference between the partner and public Lufthansa APIs. Jentic stores the OAuth client credentials in MAXsystem, exchanges them for short-lived tokens at call time, and exposes each operation under a stable schema the agent can call by intent.

Search Jentic for 'find lufthansa partner fares', load the lowestfares operation schema, and execute it for FRA to LHR on 2026-10-01.

Key Endpoints

16 endpoints — the lh partner api exposes lufthansa's partner-only flight commerce surface, covering fare search, deep links into the lufthansa booking flow, order retrieval, baggage tracking, and pre-flight auto check-in.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Lufthansa partner clientId and clientSecret are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Jentic exchanges them at https://api.lufthansa.com/v1/partners/oauth/token and injects the bearer token at call time, so the agent's context never holds the raw partner secret.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'find lowest lufthansa fares' or 'auto check-in by ticket number') and Jentic returns the matching LH Partner operation with its parameter schema, so the agent calls the correct endpoint without browsing Lufthansa's partner portal.

Time to first call

Direct Lufthansa partner integration: 3-7 days to handle OAuth client-credentials flow, deep-link parameter encoding, and partner attribution. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

LH Public API

Lufthansa's public surface for flight status, schedules, seat maps, and reference data

Use the Public API when you need operational lookups (flight status, seat maps, airport metadata) without partner credentials; use Partner for fares, deep links, and orders.

Complementary

Amadeus Airport & City Search

GDS-backed airport and city lookup that pairs well with Lufthansa OND search

Use Amadeus to resolve a free-text city to an IATA code before calling Lufthansa OND or fare endpoints.

FAQs

Specific to using LH Partner API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the LH Partner API use?

The LH Partner API uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Partners exchange a clientId and clientSecret at https://api.lufthansa.com/v1/partners/oauth/token for a short-lived bearer token under the read:LH Open API scope. Through Jentic, the client credentials live encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and tokens are minted per call, so agents never see the raw secret.

Can I create a new booking with the LH Partner API?

Not directly. The Partner API exposes fare search, deep links, order retrieval, baggage, and pre-flight check-in but does not include a create-order endpoint. To complete a booking, generate a deep link via /offers/fares/deeplink and redirect the user to lufthansa.com to finish payment and ticketing.

What are the rate limits for the LH Partner API?

Rate limits are not declared in the OpenAPI spec and are governed by each partner's commercial agreement with Lufthansa. Plan for per-second and daily caps and check your partner contract for the exact figures before bulk fare polling.

How do I retrieve an existing Lufthansa order through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'retrieve lufthansa partner order', load the GET /orders/orders/{orderID}/{name} operation, and execute it with the orderID and passenger surname. Jentic injects the OAuth bearer token automatically.

What is the difference between LH Partner API and LH Public API?

The Partner API at lufthansa.com/partner is gated by a partner OAuth client and exposes commercial features like deep links, orders, and auto check-in. The Public API at lufthansa.com/public exposes operational and reference data — flight status, schedules, seat maps, lounges, airport and aircraft references — using authorization-code OAuth instead.
