Skyscanner Data API
Search flights, compare prices across flexible dates, get month-by-month price calendars, historical price bands, and hotel rates โ all via Anysite's structured REST API.
What Skyscanner data unlocks
Skyscanner aggregates real-time prices from hundreds of airlines and hotel providers across the globe. Getting this data programmatically has historically required official partnership agreements or fragile scraping. Anysite's Skyscanner endpoints give developers a clean REST interface to flight search, flexible-date pricing grids, price bands, and hotel availability โ the full stack of data that powers travel apps, price-alert tools, and AI-driven itinerary builders.
All Skyscanner Endpoints
Seven endpoints spanning place resolution, flight search, price intelligence, and hotel search. All return structured JSON over the Anysite REST API at /api/skyscanner/....

What You Can Build
Travel AI assistants
Build Claude or GPT-powered agents that answer "find me the cheapest week to fly London to New York in August" using the flights/dates grid and prices/months calendar โ real fares, not guesses.
Price-alert and tracker tools
Poll flights/prices/calendar daily, compare against the prices/bands historical baseline, and alert users when a fare dips below the 20th percentile for that route.
Itinerary and trip-planning apps
Combine flights/search for outbound itineraries with stays/search for accommodations โ all in one API call flow, with deeplinks directly into Skyscanner for booking.
Data pipelines and analytics
Collect month-by-month and day-by-day pricing across dozens of routes for yield management, revenue forecasting, or competitive intelligence in the travel sector.
Quick Start
Two steps: resolve your origin and destination to entity IDs, then call the flight or hotel search endpoint.
# Resolve "London" to entity_id (e.g. 27544008)
curl https://api.anysite.io/api/skyscanner/places/search -H "access-token: YOUR_KEY" -d '{"query":"London","count":5}'
# Step 2 โ search flights using the entity IDs
curl https://api.anysite.io/api/skyscanner/flights/search -H "access-token: YOUR_KEY" -d '{"origin":"27544008","destination":"95673529","depart_date":"2026-08-01","count":5}'
Plans
Every endpoint is included in all Anysite plans โ there's no per-endpoint pricing to track. Use MCP Unlimited for flat-rate access through your AI tools, or a credit plan for REST & CLI at scale.
