Overview

Amadeus for Developers is an OAuth2-protected travel API offering flight search, hotel availability, airport information, and more from one of the largest global distribution systems. The self-service tier is free with usage limits and is designed for developers building travel apps. You will need to register for a client ID and secret, then exchange them for an access token before making data requests.

Beginner Tip

Always request a fresh access token using the client_credentials grant before your API calls as tokens expire after 30 minutes. Use the test environment with test credentials to avoid consuming your production quota while learning.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Use case: Integrate travel search - limited usage data into web and mobile applications
Amadeus for Developers data via REST API

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://test.api.amadeus.com/v1/security/oauth2/token";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized Access token is missing, expired, or was generated in the wrong environment.
Request a new token via POST /v1/security/oauth2/token; tokens expire after 1799 seconds.
400 Bad Request on flight search Date format is incorrect or origin and destination codes are invalid IATA codes.
Use ISO 8601 date format YYYY-MM-DD and valid three-letter IATA airport codes such as JFK or LHR.
No results returned No flights match the search criteria in the test dataset.
The test environment uses a limited dataset; try popular routes such as MAD to NYC with future dates for reliable test results.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
