A search that returns nothing or fails doesn't count. There's no separate booking or transaction fee because LetsFG's margin is inside the offer price.

Partner application and site review before production, no self-serve keys.\n\n**LetsFG.** Hosted MCP with OAuth 2.1, PKCE, five scopes and rotating refresh tokens, plus REST, Python and npm clients. Tickets are bought by a LetsFG booking agent after the hold, 4 to 11 minutes per the docs, and bookings can pause with questions.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Expedia Group Rapid API\n\n1. Build the SHA-512 signature from key, secret and the current epoch seconds in that order, per request\n2. Send `Customer-Ip` and the session headers the docs ask for, since fraud checks use them\n3. Point everything at test.ean.com until the site review is through; the paths match api.ean.com\n4. Follow the `links` in each response rather than building URLs; price check and book links carry tokens\n5. Read the `Rate-Limit-Minute-Remaining` and `Rate-Limit-Day-Remaining` headers, since the docs publish no ceilings\n\n### LetsFG\n\n1. Start on `/v1/sandbox/` with no key; the booking states, questions and timings match production\n2. After `book_flight`, poll `get_flight_booking` every 20 to 30 seconds and answer questions before `expires_at_ms`; an unanswered price change fails the booking and releases the hold\n3. Honour `retry_after_seconds` on a 429. Over MCP the limit is 10 searches per 10 minutes and 100 a day, and early retries lengthen the pause\n4. Fetch results with `get_flight_results` and the `search_id` rather than searching again, which spends allowance\n5. Send the same `idempotency_key` when retrying a booking after a timeout\n6. Treat a 410 as a retired route and read the replacement path in its body\n\n## Other comparisons with Expedia Group Rapid API or LetsFG\n\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs Expedia Group Rapid API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-expedia-rapid.md)\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs LetsFG](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-letsfg.md)\n- [Duffel Flights and Stays API vs Expedia Group Rapid API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/duffel-vs-expedia-rapid.md)\n- [Expedia Group Rapid API vs Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/expedia-rapid-vs-hotelbeds.md)\n- [Expedia Group Rapid API vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/expedia-rapid-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API vs LetsFG](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hotelbeds-vs-letsfg.md)\n- [Duffel Flights and Stays API vs LetsFG](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/duffel-vs-letsfg.md)\n- [FlightClaw vs LetsFG](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/flightclaw-vs-letsfg.md)\n- [LetsFG vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/letsfg-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [Expedia Group Rapid API vs FlightClaw](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/expedia-rapid-vs-flightclaw.md)\n",
