What makes this API powerful and reliable
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Kayak API
Do I need an API key for Kayak?
Kayak doesn’t offer a public API for this data. Our solution scrapes the information from Kayak’s website on your behalf. No official API key is required, but using our service ensures you get structured data without being blocked.
Can I specify cabin class or filters (e.g., non-stop only) for flights?
Yes. Our flight search supports additional parameters like cabin_class (economy, business, etc.) and a flag for non_stop. You can refine searches to match your needs, similar to using filters on the Kayak site.
How quickly is the data updated?
Results are fetched live when you make the request. Prices and availability can change rapidly, so each query retrieves the latest information from Kayak at that moment. It’s effectively real-time data.
Will scraping Kayak get me blocked or violate terms?
We take care of anti-scraping by using proxy rotation and simulating real user behavior. Kayak’s terms likely discourage automated access, so ensure you use the data responsibly. By using our API, you minimize the risk of blocks since we handle the technical challenges for you.
