# Skyscanner plugins

> Live Skyscanner flights, hotels and car-hire data as clean JSON - from the dashboard or the API. No partner application, no waiting.

Three plugins turn live Skyscanner results into structured JSON: **Flights**, **Hotels** and **Car Hire**. Each one resolves free-text place names for you, runs the search on warm, anti-bot-cleared sessions, and returns a full, sorted result set.

All three share one API key and honour the parameters that drive real pricing:

* **`market`** - the country you are booking from. Changes prices and available providers (e.g. `UK`, `DE`, `US`).
* **`locale`** - the language of the result text (e.g. `en-GB`, `de-DE`).
* **`currency`** - the currency of the returned prices (e.g. `EUR`, `GBP`, `USD`).

<Note>
  Try them in the dashboard first: [app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins](https://app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins). Each plugin shows a live results view plus a copy-paste code snippet.

## Flights

Live itineraries for a route and date. Every option returns with price, airline, departure and arrival times, duration, stop count, and a **booking deep link** to the exact fare. One-way or return, any cabin class, any passenger count.

| Field                            | Required | Notes                                                           |
| -------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `origin`                         | yes      | Airport or city name (e.g. `London`). Resolved via autosuggest. |
| `dest`                           | yes      | Destination airport or city name.                               |
| `depart_date`                    | yes      | `YYYY-MM-DD`.                                                   |
| `return_date`                    | no       | Omit for a one-way search.                                      |
| `adults`                         | no       | Passenger count (default `1`).                                  |
| `cabin`                          | no       | `economy`, `premium_economy`, `business`, `first`.              |
| `market` / `locale` / `currency` | no       | See above.                                                      |

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/flights/skyscanner-quotes?origin=London&dest=Krakow&depart_date=2026-09-11&market=UK&locale=en-GB&currency=EUR&adults=1" \
  -H "x-scrapeunblocker-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

The response contains `itineraries.results[]`, each with `price`, `legs[]` (times, airports, carriers, stop count) and `pricingOptions[]` - the `pricingOptions[].items[].url` is the deep link to that fare.

## Hotels

Every hotel for a city and check-in/check-out window, with nightly price, total price, star rating, review score and count, distance and image. Pagination is handled for you, up to hundreds of properties per search.

| Field                            | Required | Notes                                                         |

| `max_results`                    | no       | More results = more pages walked (\~35/page, up to `300`).    |
| `market` / `locale` / `currency` | no       | See above.                                                    |

```bash theme={null}

```

The response contains a `hotels[]` list with `name`, per-night and total price, `stars`, review score and count, `distance`, `image` and a link.

## What you can build

* **Price monitoring and alerts** - poll a route, hotel or rental daily and notify when a price drops.
* **Fare and rate comparison** - blend Skyscanner numbers into a meta-search page or internal pricing dashboard.
* **Market research** - track how prices for a city or route move over weeks, by market and currency.
* **Travel content** - generate "cheapest flights from X" or "hotels near Y" pages that stay fresh.

## Skyscanner's own partner API

Skyscanner offers a partner **Travel API** directly, and for some enterprises that is the right long-term route. It is worth knowing what it involves: you apply through a partner questionnaire, and approval is **not instant - onboarding can take up to two weeks**, granted at Skyscanner's discretion based on your use case and volume. Details are on the [Skyscanner Travel API partner page](https://www.partners.skyscanner.net/product/travel-api).

<Note>
  Our plugins are the shortcut: no application and no waiting. Sign up, add your API key, and pull flights, hotels and car-hire data the same day - from the dashboard or from code. If you later qualify for direct partner access, you can switch; until then, the plugins get you the data now.
