Any alternative API?

  I am not aware, at least not of one which is offered for free (one a base level). I have been using this one for Python practice. Sad to see it go.

    My company xmltravelgate.com offers a flight API (search & book) with many direct airlines (low cost and NDC) and 3 GDS already integrated, although you do need a contract with them... We're releasing a new aggregated flight API and flight cache API (only price & availability, no booking, no contracts) based on GraphQL scheduled for January. Feel free to contact me for more details.

  Check out Fareportal, which has a full-featured API for flights with both search and booking ability. https://www.fareportallabs.com/Home/DownloadDocs#0 https://www.fareportallabs.com/Home/DownloadDocs#0 I'm happy to answer questions as I'm helping several companies switch over to Fareportal at the moment.

  A growing number of airlines/airline groups have their own API too. Some of them are quite limited, others are quite good. API limits are generally low unless you beg (or so it seems) - Lufthansa: https://developer.lufthansa.com/docs https://developer.lufthansa.com/docs - IAG (Iberia/British Airways): https://developer.ba.com/ https://developer.ba.com/ - AirFrance/KLM https://developer.airfranceklm.com/ https://developer.airfranceklm.com/ - Turkish Airlines: https://developer.turkishairlines.com/ https://developer.turkishairlines.com/ Many of these all seem to use the Mashery API portal, so I'm guessing it was sort of pitch by Mashery and/or Sabre. Lots of these APIs seem like a trial of airlines trying to get out from under GDS systems...
