I followed this post to send flight requests using Google Flights/QPX API and it all works provided # of passengers, an origin airport, a destination airport and departure date.
I want to retrieve all possible destinations given # of passengers, an origin airport and departure date, thus leaving out destination airport (see desired output here). However, that is not possible because the API requires a destination. What is the best way to go about this:
- send multiple requests for different destinations at the same time? That would be slow and expensive ($0.03/request).
- Other suggestions
Following is my code:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit">
</body>
</html>
JS:
var sendRequest = function(){
var FlightRequest = {
"request": {
"passengers": {
"adultCount": 1
},
"slice": [
{
"origin": "JFK",
"date": "2015-05-01"
}
],
"maxPrice": "USD500",
"refundable": false
}
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "https://www.googleapis.com/qpxExpress/v1/trips/search?key=YOUR_API_KEY",
contentType: 'application/json',
dataType: 'json',
data: JSON.stringify(FlightRequest),
success: function (data) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
},
error: function(){
alert("Access to Google QPX Failed.");
}
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submit").click(function(){sendRequest();});
});
What am I missing? Any suggestions? Is there a different API that can do this?
