Looking for Airlines API
Hi Hackers!
I am looking for live price API for the airlines industry.
I am based out of India looking mainly at the domestic market.
Any suggestions. I saw Skyscanner but not sure how much pricey it is etc..

Pieter Levels uses a brilliant one on NomadList.com I'm sure if you asked him which he used he'd tell you. twitter.com/levelsio
I have been playing around with this one.

Also some random information

Sabre is the industry standard of flight API's. Most travel agents use Sabre :)
I have researched this before and you are better off to use some API service. Google has an API for airlines that is considered really good (at least when I was looking at it around a year ago). There is many API providers and some of them have a free quota, but depending on what you want to achieve this quota might be really low...
I might be wrong but I think Google discontinued their public API recently.

Ah good to know!
You can checkout Skypicker API (Kiwi) https://docs.kiwi.com/
Note: i donot have any affiliation with above api.
Thanks, do you know if this is free or there is some pricing involved?
no pricing involved. the api is free to use. you can even earn money by affiliating with the kiwi api.
update: i think kiwi api will not be beneficial to your userbase(i.e.: india) as google flights already shows cheaper prices than this api.
Thanks for the insights guys
There are many consolidated API's available now like Skyscrapper, Expedia, etc. All airlines have global API not just country specific
