New Search API is live

In today's kayak.com patch, we updated the search API to include flight segment data, which includes cabin, equipment type, wheels up/wheels down on all segments of a trip, along with some more stuff. This was based on feedback from some early users of the API (thanks Bryan and John at Stanford!).

Also, the documentation is now correct regarding the _sid_ parameter.

I may have missed it, but is there documentation for this new functionality (cabin, wheels up, wheels down, equipment, etc)?

Lynn,

The documentation for the new elements (which are the flight segments) is not on the site yet. It's on my to-do list.

In the meantime, feel free to ask about anything that seems confusing or broken.

JimmySR,

You need to specify apimode=1
on all HTTP calls. This is a bug in the documentation, which will be fixed in the next API site update.

I have a question on Kayak flight search API.

We want to get the search results as returned by kayak.com homepage which are sorted on the basis of price and non-stop.

What option either in
http://www.kayak.com/s/apisearch?

or http://www.kayak.com/s/basic/flight shall we use to get results as returned by kayak.com

We are able to retrieve that data from you server using your API the number of records limited to 10 , but we have two question to ask you for that how to increase the number of search records (which are limited to 10)and , what are the station codes Like for DELHI India we use (DEL) and for MUMBAI India (BOM) .
so we can send your server a right query string .
