Verdicts

Odessia

Odessia is a free travel concierge that books as a registered travel agent, watches prices and award seats, and keeps a public status page with a clean record since July. No outside agent can call it, standing authorisations let it pay without asking each time, and no changelog was found.

Skyscanner Travel APIs

Thirteen documented search APIs cover flights, hotels and car hire behind one x-api-key header, with default rate limits published per endpoint and no usage fee. Access needs an approved application, an audience above 100,000 monthly users and a commercial agreement, and the usage guidelines bar live-price calls made without a user action. Booking happens on supplier sites.

Before you call either

Odessia

  1. Don't plan to call Odessia from another agent. It answers only its signed-in owner on the web, by message or by email.
  2. Check whether the owner has set a standing authorisation before assuming a booking will wait for approval.

Skyscanner Travel APIs

  1. Send the key in the x-api-key header on every call to https://partners.api.skyscanner.net. CORS is not supported, so call from a server
  2. Create a live search only when a user has given origin, destination and exact dates. Use the indicative price endpoints for open-ended questions
  3. Poll /search/poll/{sessionToken} until status is RESULT_STATUS_COMPLETE, and replace earlier results only when action is RESULT_ACTION_REPLACED
  4. Start a new session when a poll returns 400. Flight session tokens last about an hour and hotel sessions at most 15 minutes
  5. Pass each deepLink to the traveller unchanged, since altered encoding breaks Impact tracking, and never put personal data in subid2
