Request for an API Key from Skyscanner for Business Contact Page.

Set your API Key:

Get the flights live pricing result by writing a few lines of code:

from skyscanner.skyscanner import Flights

flights_service = Flights('<Your API Key>')
result = flights_service.get_result(
    country='UK',
    currency='GBP',
    locale='en-GB',
    originplace='SIN-sky',
    destinationplace='KUL-sky',
    outbounddate='2016-07-28',
    inbounddate='2016-07-31',
    adults=1).parsed

print(result)

Note that both the inbounddate and outbounddate might need to be updated.

Known Issues¶

Tests might appear to be broken sometimes, this is due to the throttling in the API. In such cases, you will see the following error in the build log:
```
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 429 Client Error: Too many requests in the last minute.
```
