Supergood | TravelBank API
Programmatically access TravelBank travel bookings, expense reports, reimbursements, and corporate card transactions with a stable REST API. Supergood builds and operates production-grade, unofficial TravelBank integrations so your team can automate finance and travel operations without heavy custom engineering.
Plain English: TravelBank is travel and expense management software for companies to book trips, enforce policies, capture receipts, approve reports, and reimburse employees—often alongside corporate card feeds. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull employees, departments, card transactions, expense reports, line items, receipts, trips, itineraries, approvals, policies, and budgets—and push new expenses, submit reports, attach receipts, and trigger approvals or reimbursements.
For a tech company integrating with TravelBank, this means you can ingest real-time spend and travel data to power analytics, sync card transactions and approved expenses to accounting (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite), automate per diem and mileage calculations, route policy violations for review, and unify travel itineraries in your platform. You can also create expense line items from your receipt capture flow, submit reports programmatically, generate alerts for non-compliant bookings, and keep ERP, BI, and HRIS systems in lockstep.
What is TravelBank?
TravelBank (https://travelbank.com/) is a cloud platform for corporate travel and expense (T&E) management that centralizes trip booking, policy enforcement, receipt capture, approvals, reimbursements, and spend analytics. Teams use TravelBank to book flights, hotels, and cars, manage expense reports and categories, reconcile corporate card transactions, set travel and expense policies, route approvals, and export data to accounting systems.
Core product areas include:
- Travel Booking (Flights, Hotels, Cars, Itineraries, Trip Management)
- Expense Management (Expense Reports, Categories, Receipt Capture, Per Diem, Mileage)
- Cards & Spend (Corporate Card Feeds, Transaction Matching, Budget Tracking)
- Policies & Approvals (Travel/Expense Policies, Multi-Step Approval Chains)
- Reimbursements & Accounting (ACH Payouts, GL Mapping, Exports to QuickBooks/Xero/NetSuite)
- Analytics & Insights (Spend Dashboards, Forecasting, Benchmarking)
Common data entities:
- Companies, Employees, Roles/Permissions (Admin, Approver, Booker, Employee)
- Departments, Cost Centers, Projects
- Cards and Transactions (Merchant, MCC, Amounts, Currency, Status)
- Expense Reports and Line Items (Categories, Taxes, Receipts, Mileage/Per Diem)
- Receipts (Images/PDFs, OCR Data)
- Trips and Bookings (PNR, Flight/Hotel/Car Segments, Policy Flags)
- Policies (Travel and Expense Rules, Budgets, Exceptions)
- Approvals (States, Approvers, Timestamps)
- Reimbursements (Methods, Status, Settlement Dates)
The TravelBank Integration Challenge
T&E teams rely on TravelBank daily, but turning portal-based workflows into API-driven automation can be challenging:
- Portal-first features: Booking flows, receipt capture, and approvals are optimized for the UI, not headless automation
- Data exports: Many teams report friction with CSV exports, scheduled reports, or manual downloads when they want near real-time syncs
- Limited/paid API access: Public endpoints and webhooks may be limited or gated behind premium plans, complicating automation budgets
- Role-aware views: Admins, approvers, and travelers see different data and policy states; compliance context matters
- Card transaction normalization: Mapping merchants, categories, taxes, and currencies requires careful handling
- Authentication complexity: SSO/MFA and session lifecycles make headless integrations brittle if not engineered thoughtfully
