View OpenAPI Document

The Amadeus Flight Inspiration Search API answers the question 'where can I fly from here for cheap?' Given an origin IATA code, it returns the cheapest destinations Amadeus has cached for that origin within an optional date range, max price, duration, and one-way or round-trip filter. Each entry includes a sample price, sample dates, and a link to a follow-up Flight Offers Search call. Travel sites use it to power 'cheap flights from London' homepage modules without running an exhaustive search at request time.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Flight Inspiration Search API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Cheap Flights From Module on a Travel Homepage

Travel sites populate a 'cheap flights from {origin}' module by calling /shopping/flight-destinations once per popular origin and caching the response for the day. Each card shows the destination name, sample price, and dates — clicking through triggers a fresh Flight Offers Search using the destination IATA returned by the inspiration call.

Call /shopping/flight-destinations with origin=LON and maxPrice=300 and return the top 10 destinations sorted by sample price.

Budget-Constrained Trip Suggestion

Agents and chatbots that ask the user 'how much do you want to spend?' use the maxPrice filter to scope inspiration results to a budget. The endpoint returns only destinations Amadeus has seen at or under the price ceiling, removing the need for the agent to search exhaustively across hundreds of city pairs.

Find five round-trip destinations from LHR with maxPrice=250 GBP departing between 2026-07-01 and 2026-07-31.

Weekend Getaway Generator

Apps that suggest weekend breaks combine duration=1,3 with a near-future departure date range to return only 1-3 day trips. The response is short enough to render in a single screen and links straight to a search-and-book flow when the user picks a city.

Return cheap weekend round-trips from MAD with duration between 1 and 3 nights and a departure between Friday and Sunday next week.

Agent-Driven Trip Discovery via Jentic

An AI travel assistant invoked with 'somewhere warm under 400 from Dublin in February' calls Flight Inspiration Search through Jentic, filters the response by region, and returns 3-5 ideas with sample prices. Jentic handles OAuth and parameter shaping, so the agent only declares the user intent and the constraints.

Call jentic.search('find cheap Amadeus flight destinations from an origin'), load the operation, and execute it with origin=DUB, maxPrice=400, and a February departure window.

Agents search Jentic by intent ('find cheap Amadeus flight destinations from an origin') and Jentic returns the /shopping/flight-destinations operation with its full filter parameter list.

Time to first call

Direct Amadeus integration: 1 day for OAuth and parameter handling. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Flight Inspiration Search API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Flight Inspiration Search API use?

Amadeus Self-Service OAuth 2.0 client_credentials. Exchange your client_id and client_secret at https://api.amadeus.com/v1/security/oauth2/token for a bearer token and send it in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, the credentials live in the encrypted vault and the bearer token is rotated for you on each call to /shopping/flight-destinations.

Are the prices returned bookable in real time?

Not directly. The endpoint returns cached sample prices and dates — to confirm bookability, follow the embedded link or call Flight Offers Search with the chosen origin and destination, then Flight Offers Price before booking.

What are the rate limits for the Flight Inspiration Search API?

Amadeus Self-Service Test caps shopping endpoints at 10 transactions per second per API key with a monthly quota; Production limits scale with the chosen Self-Service plan. Bearer tokens themselves expire after roughly 30 minutes.

How do I find cheap destinations from an origin through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then call jentic.search('find cheap Amadeus flight destinations from an origin'), load the operation, and execute it with origin set to the IATA code and any of maxPrice, departureDate, duration, or oneWay as filters. Jentic posts to /shopping/flight-destinations and returns the destination list.

Which origins does this API support?

The Test environment supports a small subset of origins documented in the amadeus4dev/data-collection repository on GitHub. Production supports any IATA city or airport code Amadeus indexes; coverage is best for major European and North American hubs.

Is the Flight Inspiration Search API free?

The Test environment is free with limited monthly quota. Production access is metered per transaction under an Amadeus Self-Service plan; tier pricing is published on the Amadeus for Developers portal.
