Skyscanner API for all airport locations and Travel API using CURL


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


Solution

  • 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 .= "&currency=" . $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));
    }
