[C4GT] Implement Beckn Mobility Sandbox Interface #55
Description
Project Details
Beckn protocol is a set of open specifications aimed to create a common language, that is machine-readable and enables interoperability for economic transactions between disparate platforms of any size and form - be it a cab reservation, or booking a stay, or confirming a doctor’s appointment, and many more. Thus it enables the creation of inclusive and equitable open networks offering a multitude of choices to the citizens, while at the same time negating the dependence on intermediaries to freely operate and generate economic transactions of value. It is akin to what SMTP is to E-mails or HTTP is to the Internet.
Since its inception in 2019 as a set of specifications, Beckn has been adopted across geographies in sectors such as mobility, retail, hyperlocal logistics, healthcare, skills, agriculture sectors, etc. Few notable examples of open networks built on the Beckn protocol are Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), Namma Yatri at Bangalore, Kochi Open Mobility Network (KOMN), Unified Health Interface (UHI), etc.
The Beckn Mobility Interface is an API that emulates the behaviour of an Open Mobility Network. BAPs can build rich integrated experiences by combining services offered by multiple BPPs on the network. BPPs can build complex products by analyzing the nature of input from multiple BAPs. This is an important step in the set up and expansion of open networks. Businesses can test their implementations for protocol compliance by plugging into this sandbox.
Features to be implemented
- Beckn-protocol compliant catalogs across multiple mobility services like ride hailing, rental, public transit etc.
- BPP endpoints : search, select, init, confirm, status, update, track, cancel, rating, support
- BAP endpoint : on_search, on_select, on_init, on_confirm, on_status, on_update, on_track, on_cancel, on_rating, on_support
- BG endpoint : search
- Registry endpoints : lookup
