Hello!
I'm trying to discover some Ryanair API endpoints also. The website (and probably mobile apps too) uses a subdomain that may use the API tranparently: https://desktopapps.ryanair.com. Here are some URLs I've found:
Availability and fares info: https://desktopapps.ryanair.com/en-gb/availability?ADT=1&CHD=0&DateIn=2016-11-24&DateOut=2016-11-10&Destination=STN&FlexDaysIn=6&FlexDaysOut=6&INF=0&Origin=VLC&RoundTrip=true&TEEN=0
And this ones are for looking for one way or return fares with or without destination:
One way: https://api.ryanair.com/farefinder/3/oneWayFares?&departureAirportIataCode=BCN&language=en&limit=16&market=en-gb&offset=0&outboundDepartureDateFrom=2016-10-11&outboundDepartureDateTo=2017-10-28&priceValueTo=150
https://www.ryanair.com/us/en/corporate/terms-of-use Look for Screen Scraping. Expressly prohibited. I would not build a commercial app based on being able to hack their endpoints. They can and will block you, and if you figure out how to avoid being blocked they eventually sue you.
They have sued other companies for screen-scraping with further resale of tickets - to avoid such issues, you can use the data to find tickets, but send your users to book the actual tickets either to RyanAir.com or any other booking website which has an agreement with them. E.g. you can send them to a referral link thru Skyscanner for Business, and still earn a commission.
Unfortunately it looks like somewhat an anti-scraping thing. API stops working after few dozens requests been made in a short period of time.
It's really strange since the official API at http://developer.ryanair.com/ is not available (are there any lucky guys with approved accounts here)?
Is there any other Ryanair API service that allows to get the exact departure and arrival time?
It looks it's the same for everyone else and it looks like their API is now much more restrictive. It hasn't worked on link i tested for few days, than after few days pause i tested again and it worked on 2 links, after that, banhammer again. But aparently it looks like it's cookies thing since when i tried in Incognito like @caltv it worked, but when i tried in normal it didn't worked. So i went on and deleted all cookies and cache history in my regular Chrome window browser and @sarotnem link started working again and ryanair started showing me prices.
Using these headers fixed the problem (404 No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI) for me: { "Cookie", "RYANSESSION=WjU-xwolAvIAAHoTKwUAAAAw" }, { "Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.9" }, { "Accept", "*/*" }, { "Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate "}, { "user-agent", "PostmanRuntime/7.1.1 "}
@CarloAl same. Still better than nothing. I've already tested Ryanair's new API and it worked quite nice despite the fact there is maximum API request rate that makes flight scrapping quite tricky.
My App is still pending and so my API key doesnt work yet. I hate how Ryanair is handling this. Im trying to contact them for a year and I never get answers to my questions.
Do you know if this (limited) API access can be used for public projects? Maybe even for commercial?
EDIT: My Key/App is now approved. But I have no idea if it's legal to publish an app using this API+Key.
@CarloAl, @Lamberthassel: Where to request a letter like that? Does this make any difference? Is it legal to publish an App?
@licarth I just did the same thing, in SPAM i got the following email:
Thank you for registering at Ryanair for Developers. Your application for an
account is currently pending approval. Once it has been approved, you will
receive another e-mail containing information about how to log in, set your
password, and other details.
-- Ryanair for Developers team
I've also registered on Ryanair API website, they made sure that nobody will contact them - there is no email or anything, link to facebook is broken etc. After creating account I didn't receive any email and I couldn't login; few hours later I found out that they activated my account but my apps are still pending.
Just use their API, your apps will be approved automatically. But you all should forget Ryanair. They will send you a damn license agreement with crazy conditions to sign. (Got a contact person after months of try and error). I was scared and stopped my (personal non profit) Android App project. F* them. Seriously, they just don't want to make partnerships... It will not make you happy.
"crazy conditions" can you be a bit more specific? I wonder is it really something crazy and a good reason to avoid Ryanair or is it a case of "I get 404s after about 10 minutes of hitting the API every few seconds, anyone found a way around this?".
Yes, i read it before. But what i would like to know is: how do you know about the entrypoint change? is there an official ryanair channel for these communications? in the developer site they have not updated anything ..

Do you find any solution for availability api? I'm getting crazy..I'm using the https://desktopapps.ryanair.com entypoint but every time I get I always get a 404 after a couple of requests...Obviously I don't know their rate limit ... Do you have a reliable solution to know the price of a flight?

I have solution. 1 request / 15-20 seconds...
I use also https://apigateway.ryanair.com with apikey - 1 request / 10-20 seconds.
#Data discrepancy between oneWayFares and website
Why i have this price difference?
Yeah, its happens sometimes. Very often for Spain-Spain flights. After farefinder I always use availability request.
How do you use availability request? I'm getting crazy..I'm using the https://desktopapps.ryanair.com entypoint but every time I get I always get a 404 after a couple of requests...Obviously I don't know their rate limit ... Do you have a reliable solution to know the price of a flight?
Where did you read about this "1 request per 10-20 seconds, otherwise you would be blocked" ?
By experience.
In license agreement said that you can send maximum 10 requests per minute, or you would be blocked. But I tried few times to send requests every 8-10 seconds - they blocked me for few hours.
@maximdyatel I guess it is, but as I briefly inspected their system, it's some cookie and headers complicated thing.
@alexcagliari Nope, sorry, just found this, as I mentioned above, the endpoint for day to day prices is way more complicated.
For both: whenever I search for endpoints, I go to website, and try to find and replicate requests sent as I searching through the site, in developers console in chrome/opera (tab Network).
Many thanks @vool!
Do you if it is possible to massively get all flight number( for ex FR 8726) ? I can't use the availability request for each route to have this info...
@vool@maximdyatel@tkon99
Does any of you noticed that from midnight (Italian time) the bees respond "Http / 1.1 Service Unavailable" until 5 or 6 in the morning?
Hi guys
I recently started to get interested in the topic
If the site limits the number of requests. so why don't we collect data distributed?
We will be able to use a common base for prices, this will save resources and get the most up-to-date data
Respond if someone is interested in distributed data collection,
or someone is already collecting data and ready to share.
I have Wizz prices that I update every 12 hours, ready to share.
@TDvorian I was collecting daily Ryanair and Easyjet prices but abandoned the project in the end. You can get around ratelimiting entirely by using a paid (but cheap) proxy, I was using luminati at the time. I set it up to change IP's every 5 requests and to retry http errors automatically and with a new IP. The good thing is that the proxy manager does it for you and all your program needs to do is use one local http proxy. For me it cost about $5/m in the end. Another thing I did was that I saved all the "other currencies" (other than EUR) in the table as well as an estimate in EUR to allow easier (and much faster) search results. Maybe that's useful for you too, if you're not already doing that.
Anyway, it would be great to have a joint database, since, as you said, it saves resources. I have another idea that uses price data and I could also use it for academic purposes as I'm taking some data courses right now. I hope there's someone who has Vueling/Eurowings/Transavia data as well.

I spoke with a Luminati employee this morning and now the minimum price is about 500 usd/month...Do you know a cheap service that we can use to override api limit?
Are you sure? Maybe for residential IP's yes but for shared ones definitely not. See: https://luminati.io/pricing
I was using: Datacenter Proxies - Pay per GB

Unlimited, if you pay per GB you can use as many as you want.
Looking at alternative the luminati $0.50 per GB is really unbeatable, scraping services are too small for this usecase (tens of millions of requests per month) so only big rotating proxies will work. I found https://www.proxyrotator.com/ which seems good (it's a fixed price at least) and since this workload doesn't have to be x-threaded (because we can just crawl prices during the entire day) their cheapest plan seems a good option.

My solution was a cron job once per minute. There are approx 2300 easyjet route urls and 4700 ryanair. Each time it downloads one easyjet route, and 6 months of a ryanair route. So route data can be up to three days behind but good enough for my purposes, and reliable. Initially I collected every route within 24hrs but requests started being dropped due to rate-limiting causing issues. The database has reached 400mb but I guess I have never looked to remove historic data.
If you see the results from the first API yu can see that the flights, in this case, are scheduled until October 2020.
If instead the second entrypoint is invoked, the service will run until month 03 (March) ... from month 04 onwards he returns "{" code ":" ResourceNotFound "," message ":" Resource not found "}".
Do any of you know an entrypoint from which you can get month-to-month schedules updated? I necessarily need the flight number and the scheduled time.. @vool@maximdyatel@mtrovo@tkon99
Seeing some weird behaviour from availability over the last week, it switches between a higher and lower fare every few minutes but the website never changes
It seems that almost all endpoints except for schedules, availability and farefinder are returning 404/401. Months passed since I've created my account and I still haven't heard from them.
I'm especially interested in the Airport data, does anyone has any lead about how to get it?
