Amadeus GDS & API Certification and Integration Consultation (1 Hour)

**Suggested Upwork Title**
Amadeus GDS & API Certification and Integration Consultation (1 Hour)

**Work Description**

We are a software development company currently engaged with a client who wishes to build a travel-related website called “Jawla.” The client intends to integrate Amadeus APIs for core functionality.

Amadeus indicates that certification is required to work with their platform and APIs. Our company is not currently certified by Amadeus. We therefore require a short consultation (approximately one hour) with an experienced professional who is proficient in Amadeus GDS and APIs.

The consultation should address both business and technical aspects, specifically:

- What certification(s) or partnership status does a software company need in order to integrate and commercially use Amadeus APIs?
- What is the typical process, timeline, and cost structure for obtaining the required certification or partnership?
- From a contractual and commercial standpoint, how do arrangements usually work between a non-certified software provider, an Amadeus-certified partner or reseller, and the end client?
- On the technical side, what are the precise requirements for API access, sandbox/test environments, production credentials, and ongoing compliance?
- Is it necessary for the integrating company itself to hold certification, or is it sufficient to work through a certified partner or individual developer who already holds the required credentials?
- Any other practical recommendations regarding the most efficient and compliant path forward for a software house in our position.

We are seeking clear, practical guidance based on current Amadeus policies and real-world experience so that we can properly advise our client and plan the project.

Please include in your proposal a brief summary of your relevant Amadeus/GDS experience and availability for a one-hour consultation (video call preferred).
