Flight API Authentication

Fare search, booking link, and airport search requests require an API key passed via the X-Api-Key header. The health check is public and does not require a key.

Getting an API key

Sign up for a free account to get your API key. You can view and rotate your key from the dashboard.

Using your key

Include your X-Api-Key header in each authenticated request:

X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

Keep your API key on your server. Do not put it in browser JavaScript, static files, mobile apps, or public WordPress uploads. If a key was ever public, rotate it from the dashboard before going live.

For WordPress, Elementor, or any browser-based app, have the browser call your own server endpoint first. That endpoint should add X-Api-Key when it calls Ignav.

Rate limits

There is no provider-imposed per-account request throttle for API key requests. If you enable an optional monthly spending limit, requests stop at that cap until you increase or disable it, or a new billing cycle begins.
