Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Flight Offers Search, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Amadeus Flight Offers Search API returns priced flight itineraries from over 500 airlines on demand. It supports both a GET endpoint for simple round-trip queries and a POST endpoint for complex multi-city, multi-passenger searches with cabin class, fare type, and connection constraints. Travel platforms, online travel agencies, and corporate booking tools use it to power live flight search experiences with real availability and fares.

Use Cases

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

★ Online Travel Agency Flight Search

Online travel agencies use the Flight Offers Search API to power their live flight search results pages. The GET /shopping/flight-offers endpoint takes origin, destination, dates, and passenger counts, returning priced itineraries directly from airline inventory. Most queries return a complete results set in under three seconds, fast enough to render a search results page without an interim spinner.

Call GET /shopping/flight-offers with originLocationCode=LON, destinationLocationCode=NYC, departureDate=2026-08-15, returnDate=2026-08-22, adults=2, currencyCode=GBP and render the top 10 priced offers

Corporate Travel Booking Tool

Corporate travel platforms use the POST /shopping/flight-offers endpoint to enforce travel policy constraints when employees search for flights. The POST body accepts a structured search request with origin-destination pairs, passenger types, and a list of allowed or forbidden carriers, plus cabin restrictions. The platform then surfaces only policy-compliant fares for booking approval.

POST /shopping/flight-offers with a structured search including originDestinations, travelers list, and a searchCriteria block restricting cabin to BUSINESS and excluding two specified carriers

Price Monitoring and Fare Alerts

Fare-watch services poll the Flight Offers Search API on a schedule to track prices on watched city pairs and alert users when fares drop below a threshold. The maxPrice query parameter on the GET endpoint lets the service request only offers under a target price, reducing payload size and post-processing.

Call GET /shopping/flight-offers daily for LHR to JFK with maxPrice=400 and notify the user when at least one offer is returned

AI Travel Agent Itinerary Builder

An AI travel-planning agent invoked through Jentic uses Flight Offers Search to assemble itineraries from a natural-language request. The agent searches Jentic for the flight-offers operation, loads its schema, executes the POST endpoint with the parsed travel requirements, and presents priced options back to the user. Authentication and OAuth token refresh are handled by Jentic, so the agent only deals with the structured search request and response.

Search Jentic for search flight offers, load the POST flight-offers operation schema, execute it with the parsed user request, and return the cheapest three priced itineraries

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Amadeus client_id and client_secret are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic performs the OAuth 2.0 token exchange server side and refreshes tokens automatically, so the agent only sees a scoped session — never the raw Amadeus secret.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with phrases like search flight offers or find round-trip flights, and Jentic returns the GET or POST flight-offers operation with its input schema, so the agent can call it without browsing Amadeus Self-Service docs.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 3 to 5 days including OAuth handling, parameter mapping for the structured POST body, and quota management. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Amadeus Trip Purpose Prediction

Classifies an itinerary as business or leisure; useful for routing flight-search results to the right merchandising flow

Use Trip Purpose Prediction before Flight Offers Search when the agent needs to tailor cabin and ancillary recommendations to the inferred trip type.

Complementary

Booking.com

Hotel and accommodation inventory that pairs with flight offers to build a full trip

Use Booking.com after Flight Offers Search when the agent needs to attach lodging to a chosen itinerary.

Alternative

Kiwify

Note — Kiwify is unrelated; use this entry only if specifically required

Do not use Kiwify as a flight-search alternative; it is included only because no direct flight-offers competitor is available in the corpus.

FAQs

Specific to using Flight Offers Search API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Flight Offers Search?

Amadeus does not publish a single OpenAPI specification for Flight Offers Search. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Flight Offers Search via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Flight Offers Search API use?

The API uses OAuth 2.0 client-credentials. You exchange an Amadeus client_id and client_secret for a short-lived bearer token at the Amadeus auth endpoint, then send it as Authorization: Bearer on each /shopping/flight-offers request. Through Jentic, the client_id and client_secret are stored encrypted in the vault and the token exchange is performed server side.

Can I search multi-city itineraries with the Flight Offers Search API?

Yes. Use POST /shopping/flight-offers with a structured request body containing multiple originDestinations entries. Each entry has its own origin, destination, and date, which lets you build itineraries with three or more legs in a single call. The GET endpoint only supports round-trip and one-way.

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

The Amadeus Self-Service test environment limits Flight Offers Search to 10 transactions per second per application, with monthly transaction caps depending on your tier. Production limits are negotiated per Amadeus contract. Treat 429 responses as a signal to back off and retry with exponential delay.

How do I search flights with the Flight Offers Search API through Jentic?

Install the SDK with pip install jentic, then search Jentic for search flight offers, load the operation schema, and execute either the GET or POST flight-offers operation with the user's travel parameters. Jentic handles OAuth token exchange and refresh, so the agent only deals with the search request and response.

Are the prices returned by the Flight Offers Search API guaranteed?

No. Prices reflect real-time airline inventory at the moment of the search and can change before booking. To confirm a price, call the Flight Offers Price endpoint with the selected offer before proceeding to booking; only the price returned by that confirmation step is bookable.
