I am testing the Instaflights Search API to pull fare information for an airline. In this example, using Delta. When I pull the data, I only get the pricing for the Basic Economy and not for Main Cabin or First class. Is there a way to get access to these prices or we are limited to the lowest price? I compared the results with the Delta website and only the flights with Basic Economy seats matched between the API and the airline site.
InstaFligths, retrieves roundtrip or one-way flight itineraries with published fares and fare breakdowns for a given city pair and departure date. The API returns the 300 of the lowest-priced itineraries.
If looking to retrieve different Brands or Cabin Types, please look into Bargain Finder Max API.

I am testing flight-offers-search and flight-cheapest-date-search
Are there parameters available to limit by number of connections and layover duration, didn't see it in the doc.
Also, is there a functionality to fetch future prices for given period ex: get average price for 2 week trips in the next month, 3 months, 1 year?
Thank you.
Regarding your first point: In the Flight Offers Search API: As of today, the API doesn't offer a parameter to control the time of the layover you will have to check the response and do it on your side. For the number of connections, you can filter direct and non-direct flights using the parameter nonStop. Then, if you want to limit the number of stops you have to do it by filtering the response (by looking at the number of segments inside the itineraries).
Flight Cheapest Date Search has a similar parameter to control the direct and non-direct offers: nonStop.
Regarding your second point: not directly, for this, you can do it by:
Use the Flight Offers Search and do multiples searches and make an average of the prices you find
Use the Flight Cheapest Date Search to do the same (keep in mind that this API uses a pre-computed cache and has a limited number of origin-destination)
Good day everyone,
Am using amadeus self-service for the first time, i wanted to know if it was possible to get list of airports by their country.
Thanks for the assist.
We do not have a specific API that retrieves airports in given countries. However, you could use our Airport Nearest Relevant API.
This API allows you to find all the airports around specific coordinates (latitude & longitude). You can query the API with the coordinates of the specific country (like the center) and play with the radius parameter (note that the maximum value is 500 kms). This will give you all the airports in this search radius. You can then filter the response by countryName to only retrieve airports in the given country. Of course depending on the size of the country you may need to do this process with multiple geocoordinates.
I'm racking my brain how to use the Wikipedia API to get a list of the power plants in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Coal-fired_power_stations_in_the_United_States_by_state
Then include the data from the Commission Date field next to each plant. (Alternatively, cross-reference with the "energy infrastructure completed in 19XX" category)
Where do I start? EIA this information, but only for the actual generators that are still in use, not the date for the powerplants housing those generators. I also found some Data related to Co2 production, but those dates go back only to 1945.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am a node js programming, testing the self-service api calls on amadeus website.
I am aware of the whole flow: Flight Offers Search -> Flight Offers Price -> Flight Create Orders. Just curious which api are returning cached results from servers, which return live results.
PS.How does 'create order' actually create flight orders? I do not see url link to book air ticket, like skyscanner's api. All I get is
"type": "flight-order",
"id": "eJzTd9f39vA0co4AAArzAk8=",
"associatedRecords": [
{
"reference": "KHI2CX",
"creationDate": "2020-01-09T07:51:00.000",
"originSystemCode": "GDS",
"flightOfferId": "1"
}
],
etc...
How can a customer book an air ticket from this info?
PPS: Is it possible to skip Flight Offers Price in the flow? If not, how long does response from Flight Offers Price stay valid as input for create orders?
Thanks in advance.
The 3 APIs have live results (no cache), so in theory, if you do a booking right after the search you could skip the price, but as it can take time to browse and select the flight to book it's better to perform the price to make sure the price didn't change and the seat(s) is still available.
Regarding the validity of the Price API: it's valid as long as the price doesn't change and the seat is still available.
Our Flight Create Orders API creates a booking reservation, it doesn't redirect to a website of a travel agency or an airline. You can find more information in our guide: Create a flight booking engine.
Do not hesitate to contact our support team if you want more information.
I am working on to call the Amadeus Service and get the response for flight search and then book.
Amadeus service method _InformativeBestPricingWithoutPNR is giving following error
1) 'NO VALID FARE/RULE COMBINATIONS FOR PRICING'
2) 'NO FARE FOR BOOKING CODE-TRY OTHER PRICING OPTIONS'
3) 'No INTERLINE AGREEMENT - PRICE SEPARATELY'
Just to know that i am calling Fare_MasterPricerTravelBoard and then select one flight and call the Fare_InformativeBestpricingWithoutPNR , some of the flight is giving proper response in Fare_InformativeBestpricing but some of the are giving error,
Please help, i have read all the document provide by Amadeus extranet site and related document , there are no any solution provide for specific error.
If you haven't already read it, I'd definitely suggest you log in to webservices.amadeus.com and take a look at the Amadeus WBS Implementation Guide - Internet Booking Engine with Master Pricer.
Typically these errors occur because only a subset of the journey returned by Travel Board is being sent to Informative Bestpricing, and this subset is not valid for pricing on its own.
A typical case when this can occur is if you price each leg individually but the Fare Basis used may only apply for a round trip.
Could you please provide more information on the call you are making to Fare_InformativeBestpricingWithoutPNR?
The error says you are combining two different airlines that do not have interline agreements. So in this case you will have to price them separately. For example if you are flying american airlines for the outbound flight, then you cannot fly air france in the inbound flight and price them in one transaction. in this case, assuming American and Air France do not have interline agreements, you have to price them separately.
