Introduction

Ignav is a REST API that gives you flight prices and booking links. Search one-way and round-trip fares across thousands of routes, then generate direct booking URLs for the itineraries your users choose.

Base URL

All API requests are made to https://ignav.com/api. Fare and booking endpoints use POST with a JSON body; airport search uses GET query parameters.

Quick start

Search for one-way flights from San Francisco to New York with a single request:

Core concepts

Fare search returns a list of itineraries with price, an outbound leg, an optional inbound leg, and an ignav_id. Use that ID to fetch booking links for any itinerary.

Markets control the currency and locale of results. Set market to a 2-letter country code like US, GB, or JP.

Segments represent individual flight legs within an itinerary. A nonstop flight has one segment; a connecting itinerary has multiple.

OpenAPI is available at /api/openapi.json. It covers the public customer endpoints.
