Coverage measures research breadth across scored fields. Research coverage is 15/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed. | Component | Applies | Raw | Effective weight | Nominal weight | Contribution | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Integration | Yes | 0/10 | 35% | 35% | 0.0 | | Trust | Yes | 2/6 | 30% | 30% | 10.0 | | Portability | Yes | 2/4 | 20% | 20% | 10.0 | | Security | Yes | 0/4 | 15% | 15% | 0.0 | - **Trust signals:** Hard budget caps (no billing, +2) - **Portability signals:** Standard protocol access (+1); No proprietary-SDK lock-in (+1) ## Trust & Data Policy - **Headless signup:** – No - **Hard budget caps:** ✓ No billing - **Standard protocol access:** ✓ Yes - **No proprietary-SDK lock-in:** ✓ Yes - **Not yet researched:** llms.txt, WebMCP, Trust center, Multi-factor authentication, Zero data retention, No generative AI training, Sandbox environment, Data export, Data import, Open standards, Documented provider swap, Self-hostable, Open source ## Confirmed absences These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications). - **Headless signup** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-29. Inspected the complete official Authentication getting-started page and its How to get an API key flow. It directs prospective API users to submit an application to Partnerships for review and wait for successful-application contact; it documents use of an issued key but no API or CLI account-creation route. This attests absence of documented programmatic signup in the official API access flow, not absence of an API after approval. Source: https://developers.skyscanner.net/docs/getting-started/authentication ## Security & Compliance **Compliance certifications:** Not yet researched. **Access controls:** Not yet researched. ## Capabilities No capabilities listed. ## Jobs To Be Done From cited vendor documentation, each completion verdict says whether an agent can deliver the job's main outcome by and large through this product and which steps still need a person. Scope may limit cases or prerequisites while preserving that outcome. An unknown verdict means the answer is not yet established. - **Compare flight options** — Find and compare flight itineraries and fares before choosing an offer and preparing a booking. - Route: API - Completion: Documented complete - Setup needs a human: Unknown - Per-task human step: Unknown - On behalf of a principal: Unknown - Scope: An application with approved Skyscanner partner API access finds and compares flight itineraries and fares for supplied origins, destinations, dates and passengers through Flights Live Prices. It starts a create search and polls the returned session token for complete results, using itinerary, price, duration and sorting data to compare options. Completion ends before booking or payment. - Conditions: API access requires a Partnerships-team-reviewed application and an API key sent through x-api-key over HTTPS. Poll after create to obtain complete results. The search session token expires after around one hour; create a new search when it expires. Live Pricing calls must follow user action with exact origin, destination and travel dates; calls without user action are disallowed. Follow the required attribution and result-display rules. The integration must provide booking deep links and generate end-user bookings; access for prices alone is outside the Flights API offer. Completion ends before booking or payment. The reviewed documentation does not establish whether account setup or the initiating user action must be performed by a human, or whether a software agent may act for that user. Human setup, human execution and delegated authority remain unknown. ## Offers **Pricing page:** https://skyscannerpartnersupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4524639452573-How-much-does-it-cost-to-use-the-Skyscanner-Flights-API No offers listed. ## Reviews No approved reviews yet. ## Benchmarks No benchmarks listed. ## Documentation The primary documentation link is at the top of this page.
