In Amadeus self service APIs, is price.total inclusive of all taxes and fees?

Question

For the Amadeus self-service rest APIs: v1/shopping/flight-offers and flight-dates, is the price.total response field inclusive of all taxes and fees?

I seem to need to add total + totalTaxes to get a price that's close to the one provided by the airline directly.

If there are developer docs that explain in more detail each response field, please do point me to them. I have been unable to find any.

In reference to these APIs:

https://developers.amadeus.com/self-service/category/203/api-doc/4/api-docs-and-example/10002 https://developers.amadeus.com/self-service/category/203/api-doc/5/api-docs-and-example/10003

and this field:

"price": {
  "total": "259.91",
  "totalTaxes": "185.91"
},

“total” is the total price you will have to pay, it includes the totalTaxes.

You can access the model directly on Swagger (under the Response Class (Status 200)) you have the Model button. But you are right the description of those parameters need to be added, point taken.

Thanks so much Anthony for the fast response, and helpful pointer. Fantastic. In that case, the same flight is often quite a bit cheaper on Amadeus than the retail price on the airline's site. $436.88 vs $491.50 for this SFO to WLG test case: https://gist.github.com/chan1/ca8b9e5b342e8c71e225ec8182c041f7 vs https://imgur.com/a/r4HUd8I – Chris Han Mar 11 '19 at 18:20

As highlighted in the accepted answer, the total price is the total including all taxes, personally, I was also initially confused and had to manually check with a travel agent to confirm. I would suggest Amadeus splits the description as follows

"price": {
  "totalFare": "74.00",
  "totalTaxes": "185.91"
  "totalAmount": "259.91"
},

In Amadeus self service APIs, is price.total inclusive of all taxes and fees?
