Do I need an API key?

No! Skyscanner's Travel API is free with a public key. No registration needed for basic access.

How do I find airport codes?

Use autosuggest_places to search for airports and cities by name. It returns IATA codes and place IDs you can use in flight searches.

Are these real-time prices?

Prices are indicative and cached. They're useful for exploring price ranges and comparing dates, but may differ slightly from live booking prices.
