Flight Price Cache API

Overview

The Flight Price Cache API provides access to flight availability and pricing data from the TUI NewSkies cache system. It is designed for external consumers (e.g., metasearch engines, travel platforms) that need fast access to cached flight pricing without querying the live reservation system.

The API serves pre-computed pricing data, making it ideal for display purposes such as cheapest-flight widgets, calendar views, and day-level offer comparisons.

Endpoints

Authentication

This API uses OAuth 2.0 authentication. You must include a valid access token in your requests:

Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>

Each API key is linked to a specific agent profile via a KVM mapping in Apigee. The agent profile determines which flights and fares are visible based on role permissions.

Requesting Access

1. Register on the TUI Developer Portal and create an application
2. Select flight-newskies-pricecache-api as the API Product
3. Contact yoda@tui.de with:
   • Your application name (as shown in the developer portal)
   • The AgentName you need mapped (provided by the API team)

Without this mapping, requests will return a 401 Unauthorized error.
