Bit

Bit is a datatype with only two possible values, 1 and 0.

Booking Reference

A string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies the booking in the system.

Booking Token

A string of numbers, letters and other characters that are an encoded summary of some of the booking details needed to book this component. The booking token will be returned in component search requests and the same token will need to be copied into the prebook request in the booking token field. Booking tokens will not be the same for different dates as the date information is often part of the information encoded in the token. This means that the only way to generate a booking token is to send a request to the API which returns a booking token in the response.

Boolean

Boolean is a datatype with only two possible values 'true' and 'false'.
