gflights

This project is a Go client library for the Google Flights API. It makes requests directly to the public Google Flight API.

Acknowledgements

This package has been based off the work completed in google-flights-api. While sharing some of the same methods, this package builds on it by adding return flights, price grids and booking urls.

Installation

go get -u github.com/tobyrushton/gflights

Usage

Session

The session struct contains the majority of the API-related functions required.

session, err := gflights.New()

Outbound Offers

offers, priceRange, err := session.GetOutboundOffer(
    context.Background(),
    gflights.Args{
		DepartureDate: time.Now().AddDate(0, 6, 0),
		ReturnDate:    time.Now().AddDate(0, 6, 7),
		SrcCities:     []string{"New York"},
		DstAirports:   []string{"LHR"},
		Options: gflights.Options{
			Travelers: gflights.Travelers{Adults: 1},
			Currency:  currency.GBP,
			Stops:     gflights.AnyStops,
			Class:     gflights.Economy,
			TripType:  gflights.RoundTrip,
			Lang:      language.English,
		},
	}
)

Return Offer

// first the outbound offer must be requested as part of a round trip search.
outboundOffer := offers[0]

returnOffers, err := offer.GetReturnFlights(context.Background())

Booking URL

// you must have a trip selected
selectedTrip := outboundOffer.SelectReturnFlight(returnOffer[0])

bookingUrl, err := session.SerialiseBookingURL(
    context.Background(),
    selectedTrip,
)

Notes

This package is still experimental and the API may change at any time.
