I am trying to fetch geo catalogue data from skyscanner api. I have read documentation http://business.skyscanner.net/portal/en-GB/Documentation/ApiOverview
I have created api key. I am hitting api successfully and getting result same as on the http://business.skyscanner.net/portal/en-GB/Documentation/FlightsLivePricingQuickStart
I am hitting:-
http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/pricing/v1.0/?apiKey=KEY&country=IR=EUR&locale=en-IE&originplace=51.845159,-8.492835-latlong&destinationplace=DUB-iata&inbounddate=&outbounddate=2016-08-10&adults=1&locationschema=iata&cabinclass=Economy&preferDirects=true&grouppricing=true
But I need data(xml or json) with all direct flight airport available from provided city. like:-
<Airports>
<Airport
Id="BIN"
Name="Bamiyan"
CountryId="AF"
Location="67.823611, 34.804167"
CityId="BINA" />
</Airports>
Is this possible to get this type of data
After searching a lot and discussion with Skyscanner I finally found that no such api is provided by them.
But I have successfully implemented the Travel API, I know many of you searching for this so I am posting code here for all of you :)
I am calling below function using ajax:-
function flight_data() {
$varApiKey = '?apiKey=ADD_KEY_HERE';
$country_code = 'IR';
$originplace = '51.845159,-8.492835-latlong';
$curency = 'EUR';
$destination = 'DUB-iata';
$start_date = date('Y-m-d');
$dateOneMonth = strtotime($start_date);
//$end_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 month", $dateOneMonth));
$end_date = '';
$audult = '1';
$cabinclass = 'Economy';
$locationschema = 'iata';
$grouppricing = $preferDirects = 'true';
$query = "&country=" . $country_code;
$query .= "¤cy=" . $curency;
$query .= "&locale=en-IE";
$query .= "&originplace=" . $originplace;
$query .= "&destinationplace=" . $destination;
$query .= "&inbounddate=" . $end_date;
$query .= "&outbounddate=" . $start_date;
$query .= "&adults=" . $audult;
$query .="&locationschema=" . $locationschema;
$query .="&cabinclass=" . $cabinclass;
$query .="&preferDirects=" . $preferDirects;
$query .="&grouppricing=" . $grouppricing;
$apiParamsUrl = "http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/pricing/v1.0/" . $varApiKey . $query . "";
$apiParamsStr = parse_url($apiParamsUrl, PHP_URL_QUERY); // get the query string parametures
parse_str($apiParamsStr, $apiParamsArray); // parse into an array
// the api url. First we need to request for a session
$apiSessionUrl = 'http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/pricing/v1.0';
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiSessionUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Accept: application/json')); // make api return json data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($apiParamsArray)); // set how many fiels
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $apiParamsStr); // set the fields
// caputre the headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
//execute post
$response = curl_exec($ch);
// get the headers
$header_size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
$header = substr($response, 0, $header_size);
$body = substr($response, $header_size);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
// print_r($response);
// die();
// get the api session url
preg_match('~Location: ([^\s]+)~', $header, $matches);
$apiSessionUrl = $matches[1];
// add on the api key for the session
$apiSessionUrl .= $varApiKey;
// get the json data
$data = file_get_contents($apiSessionUrl);
// decode the json
$array = json_decode($data, true);
// dump json array`enter code here`
printf('<pre>Poll Data %s</pre>', print_r($array, true));
}
As of May 2017. this fetches airport data:
http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/geo/v1.0?apiKey=aslkdjhfasdbfaodyf2309y232
Change the dummy key of course.
This gives you the xml
You get a json dump if you do this:
curl http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/geo/v1.0?apiKey=aslkdjhfasdbfaodyf2309y232 > airports.json
