“In an entrepreneurial journey like the one we have with BuscaVoo, it is very important to find partners that allow us to innovate and build value around our product and brand. And that's what we found in the partnership with Skyscanner, a very robust API solution capable of meeting all our development needs, as well as an attentive and highly professional team, supporting and helping BuscaVoo's growth in Brazil and Latin America.
“Skyscanner's Flights API was beyond our expectations. It has helped us reach a big audience in a very short time by providing more travel agencies as well as cheaper prices compared to our competitors on the Swedish market. We are happy to be part of Skyscanner's partners and couldn't have wished for a better API partner.

Live Prices API or Indicative Prices API?

Live Prices API

  • Retrieve up-to-date on-demand pricing information for a specific route on specific departure and arrival dates.

  • The API returns all relevant pricing information for the specific search, allowing for price comparison and selection.

  • The data returned from the Live Prices API is the most accurate pricing information for this route and travel dates that Skyscanner can provide. 

  • Choose the Live Prices API if you want to provide a price comparison for a given route on specific dates. 

Indicative Prices API​

  • Indicative Prices are stored and updated every time a user does a search. For each route and date combination, we save the cheapest one-way and the cheapest return prices. 

  • Provides an aggregated view of flights and price data for many origins or many destinations over many time frames.

  • The prices returned are the cheapest price per day from our cache data. ​

  • Choose the Indicative Prices API if you want to provide a wide search range with flexible dates or destinations in a more efficient way.
