pyflight

A Python Wrapper around the Google QPX Flights API that supports both synchronous and asynchronous operation.

Features

• Fully asynchronous using aiohttp, or synchronous using requests.
• Easy control over the formatting of requests and results
• Powerful functions to work with API results

Installation

pip3 install pyflight 

A Google API Key is required. You can obtain one at the Google API Dev Console.

Example

Find flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Los Angeles (LAX), limited to one solution

We create a request and set the adult count, then add a slice to send with the request. We execute the API call synchronously and specify that we do not want to use the supplied containers and would like to receive the "raw" JSON response instead, to write the response to a file using Python's built-in json module. Note that asynchronous API calls are designed to be used within asynchronous applications, thus we use a synchronous request here.

import json
import pyflight

pyflight.set_api_key('<key>')

flight = pyflight.Request()
flight.adult_count = 1

flight.add_slice(pyflight.Slice(
    origin='SFO',
    destination='LAX',
    date='2017-09-19'
))

result = flight.send_sync(use_containers=False)

with open('res.json', 'w+') as f:
    json.dump(result, f)

Dependencies

• Python 3.5+
• aiohttp
• requests

Tests

If you're interested in running the tests, run python3 -m pytest. If required files for testing are not found in the directory, they will be downloaded automatically and saved for the next testing runs. You can also use the -v flag to enable a more detailed overview of the tests.
