Expired Boarding passes

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

In Google Wallet, there's an "Expired passes" section that contains all archived or inactive passes.

A pass is moved to the "Expired passes" section if at least one of the following conditions is true:

  • It's been at least 24 hours since class.localScheduledDepartureDateTime or class.localEstimatedOrActualDepartureDateTime expired. The pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime between 24-48 hours after class.localScheduledDepartureDateTime or class.localEstimatedOrActualDepartureDateTime expires.
  • When the object.validTimeInterval.end.date expires, the pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime up to 24 hours after.
  • The state of the object object.state field is marked as Expired, Inactive, or Completed.

The following code sample demonstrates expiring a pass object using the Google Wallet API.

Java

/**
 * Expire an object.
 *
 * <p>Sets the object's state to Expired. If the valid time interval is already set, the pass will
 * expire automatically up to 24 hours after.
 *
 * @param issuerId The issuer ID being used for this request.
 * @param objectSuffix Developer-defined unique ID for this pass object.
 * @return The pass object ID: "{issuerId}.{objectSuffix}"
 * @throws IOException
 */
public String ExpireObject(String issuerId, String objectSuffix) throws IOException {
  // Check if the object exists
  try {
    service.flightobject().get(String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix)).execute();
  } catch (GoogleJsonResponseException ex) {
    if (ex.getStatusCode() == 404) {
      // Object does not exist
      System.out.println(String.format("Object %s.%s not found!", issuerId, objectSuffix));
      return String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix);
    } else {
      // Something else went wrong...
      ex.printStackTrace();
      return String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix);
    }
  }

  // Patch the object, setting the pass as expired
  FlightObject patchBody = new FlightObject().setState("EXPIRED");

  FlightObject response =
      service
          .flightobject()
          .patch(String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix), patchBody)
          .execute();

  System.out.println("Object expiration response");
  System.out.println(response.toPrettyString());

  return response.getId();
