[edit: i looked at ita. it says that it supplies kayak and google flights. google flights shows flights to tehran (i checked). kayak does not (according to the article). that does not seem to support the idea that ita is filtering data, unless it is doing so at the client's request.]
- untog 13y agoI have no idea. This StackOverflow post gives a good rundown of where the data comes from: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4612221/470339 http://stackoverflow.com/a/4612221/470339 "you probably want to connect to somebody a bit more down the food chain, with a better API." Obviously I have no idea how anyone does it, but it seems plausible that it is the data providers rather than consumer-facing sites. Look at the ITA site: http://www.itasoftware.com/ http://www.itasoftware.com/
- apaprocki 13y agoI still see full flight data to IKA on my terminal, so it does not appear to be filtered from data providers (plural). I suppose there could be one provider that filtered it and a few sites depend on them.
