Skyscanner API Access

Skyscanner has Travel APIs for partners, but access is application and partner-gated. Its public developer docs are written for partners, and Skyscanner partner support describes review criteria for API applications. For most indie developers, there is no instant self-serve Skyscanner Flights API key to grab.

That does not mean Skyscanner access is impossible. It means you should plan around an approval path, partner fit, and business requirements. If you mainly need fare search and booking links, Ignav is a smaller self-serve option.

What people usually wanted from Skyscanner

Developers usually want the metasearch pieces: search a route, compare prices across airlines and OTAs, show a clean itinerary list, then send the traveler to a booking page. That covers search apps, affiliate travel sites, price alerts, deal pages, and AI trip planners that need current fares.

Where Ignav fits

Ignav gives you a REST API for live flight prices and booking links. Use GET /api/airports to resolve user input,POST /api/fares/one-way or POST /api/fares/round-trip to search, and POST /api/fares/booking-links when the user selects an itinerary.

• 1,000 free requests to test with real API calls.
• $2.00 per 1,000 successful requests after that.
• Failed requests are not billed.
• No monthly minimums and no per-account authenticated rate limits.

What Ignav does not cover

Ignav is not an affiliate network and does not provide Skyscanner branding, partner attribution, cached explore-destination products, or affiliate reporting. It also does not issue tickets or manage bookings. Your app remains a search and link-out product.
