FlightFinderApp-JG 0.1.6

A helper that interacts with low-cost air carrier's API and helps to find cheap flights.

Flight Finder App is a Python package for searching flights (only Ryanair at the moment). It provides Command-line interface (CLI) capabilities for aquick and simple search or could be used as a library in your code.

Installation

pip install FlightFinderApp-JG

Using command-line interface

Flight Finder App CLI provides two commands:

• findFlights
• findAirportCode

Usage: FlightFinderApp findflights [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -d, --departurecode TEXT       The starting point of your trip. Specify your
                                 departure airport code
  -a, --arrivalcode TEXT         The final point of your trip. Specify your
                                 arrival airport code
  -r, --includereturnflight      Includes return flights into search results
  -o, --outbounddatefrom TEXT    Start date of your trip. If not specified,
                                 then today date is set
  -p, --pricevalue INTEGER       Max price for one way / return flights. It
                                 does not apply to total price of connecting
                                 flights  [default: 999]
  -f, --dateflexibility INTEGER  Extends the search period by so many days
                                 (outbound date +/- date flexibility)
                                 [default: 2]
  -t, --tripduration INTEGER     Date of the return flight is set by adding
                                 the trip duration to outbound date  [default:
                                 7]

Usage: FlightFinderApp findairportcode [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --city TEXT     Returns a list of airport codes that are bases of Ryanair in
                  the specified city
  --country TEXT  Returns a list of cities and airport codes that are bases of
                  Ryanair in the specified country

Using as a library

Creating an instance:

from FlightFinderApp_JG.FlightManager import RyanairFlights

ryanairFlights = RyanairFlights()

All you need is the find_flights function. To search for a return flight between two airports which price is bellow 50Eur

ryanairFlights.find_flights(departure_airport_code="KUN",
                            arrival_airport_code="BER",
                            is_return_trip=True,
                            price_value_to=50)

Result:

{
  "outbound": {
    "departureCountry": "Lithuania",
    "departureCity": "Kaunas",
    "departureIATACode": "KUN",
    "arrivalCountry": "Germany",
    "arrivalCity": "Berlin",
    "arrivalIATACode": "BER",
    "departureDate": "2024-05-14T09:50:00",
    "arrivalDate": "2024-05-14T10:30:00",
    "price": 21.99,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "priceUpdatedOn": 1715243865000
  },
  "summary": {
    "price": 34.98,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "tripDuration": 7
  },
  "inbound": {
    "departureCountry": "Germany",
    "departureCity": "Berlin",
    "departureIATACode": "BER",
    "arrivalCountry": "Lithuania",
    "arrivalCity": "Kaunas",
    "arrivalIATACode": "KUN",
    "departureDate": "2024-05-21T06:35:00",
    "arrivalDate": "2024-05-21T09:10:00",
    "price": 12.99,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "priceUpdatedOn": 1715237050000
  }
}

If no results are returned, try to specify the following parameters:

• date_flexibility_in_days
• trip_duration_in_days

ryanairFlights.find_flights(departure_airport_code="KUN",
                            arrival_airport_code="BER",
                            is_return_trip=True,
                            price_value_to=50,
                            date_flexibility_in_days=5,
                            trip_duration_in_days=10)

If direct flight between two airports is not found, then a connecting flight could be suggested (if such exists, remember, we're operating only with Ryanair flights)

Searching for a flight between two airports, but we already know that direct flight does not exist. Also, we have defined our trip start date:

ryanairFlights.find_flights(departure_airport_code="KUN",
                            arrival_airport_code="OPO",
                            is_return_trip=True,
                            outbound_date="2024-06-10",
                            date_flexibility_in_days=10,
                            trip_duration_in_days=10)

Result:
