Use cases

What people build on this data

Eight jobs the APIs are actually used for, sorted into the three things people do with live flight and hotel prices. Each page names the specific capability that makes the job workable (a field, a header, an endpoint, a rate limit), not a generic promise.

Scan for deals

Run the search on a schedule, over a range of dates, and only look when the number moves.

Fare alerts

Price alerts backed by real-time flight data: no price-history database to build.

Fare calendars & heatmaps

Scan a whole month of dates in one burst with rate limits sized for parallel scans.

Market analysis

Track price movement with real-time data instead of a homegrown baseline.

Put live search in your app

Your users ask, the API answers with what Google Flights and Booking.com are showing right now.

Rate-parity monitoring

The same room priced from different countries with proxy_country, sampled per market: parity checks from one API.

Metasearch & comparison sites

Live flight prices with a working buy_link on every result: no booking URL to reconstruct.

Hotel comp-set tracking

Your competitive set by hotel name, on a schedule: no internal property IDs required.

Run a 24/7 AI travel agent

Hand the same tools to an LLM and let it do the looking, on a schedule, without you writing the loop.

AI travel agents

Flat JSON tool calls, hosted MCP servers, and price context your agent can reason with.

Trip-planning bots

Chatbots that answer with paired round-trips and can honestly say “no flights that day.”
