Amadeus for Developers

API

Travel search API for flights, hotels, and more with limited free access

Overview

Amadeus for Developers offers RESTful APIs for travel search and booking, including flights (availability, pricing), hotels (search, rates), car rentals, airport info, and itinerary management. Responses are in JSON format. Key endpoints like Flight Offers Search and Hotel Search enable building travel apps, booking platforms, or itinerary planners. The free tier provides limited usage (e.g., 1000 flight search requests/month) with rate limits, suitable for testing or small-scale apps. Authentication requires OAuth 2.0 with an API key and secret from the portal.
