Authentication

from letsfg import LetsFG

# Register (one-time, no auth needed)
creds = LetsFG.register("my-agent", "[e-mail]")
print(creds["api_key"])  # "trav_xxxxx..." — save this

# Option A: Pass API key directly
bt = LetsFG(api_key="trav_...")

# Option B: Set LETSFG_API_KEY env var, then:
bt = LetsFG()

# Setup payment (required before unlock) — three options:

# Option 1: Stripe test token (for development)
bt.setup_payment(token="tok_visa")

# Option 2: Stripe PaymentMethod ID (from Stripe.js or Elements)
bt.setup_payment(payment_method_id="pm_1234567890")

# Option 3: Raw card details (requires PCI-compliant Stripe account)
bt.setup_payment(card_number="4242424242424242", exp_month=12, exp_year=2027, cvc="123")

The API key is sent as X-API-Key header on every request. The SDK handles this automatically.

Verify Your Credentials

# Check that auth + payment are working
profile = bt.me()
print(f"Agent: {profile['agent_name']}")
print(f"Payment: {profile.get('payment_status', 'not set up')}")
print(f"Searches: {profile.get('search_count', 0)}")

Auth Failure Recovery

from letsfg import LetsFG, AuthenticationError

try:
    bt = LetsFG(api_key="trav_...")
    flights = bt.search("LHR", "JFK", "2026-04-15")
except AuthenticationError:
    # Key invalid or expired — re-register to get a new one
    creds = LetsFG.register("my-agent", "[e-mail]")
    bt = LetsFG(api_key=creds["api_key"])
    bt.setup_payment(token="tok_visa")  # Re-attach payment on new key
    flights = bt.search("LHR", "JFK", "2026-04-15")

Quick Start (Python)

from letsfg import LetsFG

bt = LetsFG(api_key="trav_...")

# Search flights — FREE
flights = bt.search("GDN", "BER", "2026-03-03")
print(f"{flights.total_results} offers, cheapest: {flights.cheapest.summary()}")

# Unlock — FREE
unlock = bt.unlock(flights.cheapest.id)
print(f"Confirmed price: {unlock.confirmed_currency} {unlock.confirmed_price}")

# Book — ticket price charged via Stripe (zero markup)
booking = bt.book(
    offer_id=flights.cheapest.id,
    passengers=[{
        "id": flights.passenger_ids[0],
        "given_name": "John",
        "family_name": "Doe",
        "born_on": "1990-01-15",
        "gender": "m",
        "title": "mr",
        "email": "[e-mail]",
    }],
    contact_email="[e-mail]"
)
print(f"PNR: {booking.booking_reference}")

Multi-Passenger Search

# 2 adults + 1 child, round-trip, premium economy
flights = bt.search(
    "LHR", "JFK", "2026-06-01",
    return_date="2026-06-15",
    adults=2,
    children=1,
    cabin_class="W",  # W=premium, M=economy, C=business, F=first
    sort="price",
)

# passenger_ids will be ["pas_0", "pas_1", "pas_2"]
print(f"Passenger IDs: {flights.passenger_ids}")

# Book with details for EACH passenger
booking = bt.book(
    offer_id=unlocked.offer_id,
    passengers=[
        {"id": "pas_0", "given_name": "John", "family_name": "Doe", "born_on": "1990-01-15", "gender": "m", "title": "mr"},
        {"id": "pas_1", "given_name": "Jane", "family_name": "Doe", "born_on": "1992-03-20", "gender": "f", "title": "ms"},
        {"id": "pas_2", "given_name": "Tom", "family_name": "Doe", "born_on": "2018-05-10", "gender": "m", "title": "mr"},
    ],
    contact_email="[e-mail]",
)

Resolve Locations

Always resolve city names to IATA codes before searching:

locations = bt.resolve_location("New York")
# [{"iata_code": "JFK", "name": "John F. Kennedy", "type": "airport", "city": "New York"}, ...]

# Use in search
flights = bt.search(locations[0]["iata_code"], "LAX", "2026-04-15")

Working with Search Results

flights = bt.search("LON", "BCN", "2026-04-01", return_date="2026-04-08", limit=50)

# Iterate all offers
for offer in flights.offers:
    print(f"{offer.owner_airline}: {offer.currency} {offer.price}")
    print(f"  Route: {offer.outbound.route_str}")
    print(f"  Duration: {offer.outbound.total_duration_seconds // 3600}h")
    print(f"  Stops: {offer.outbound.stopovers}")
    print(f"  Refundable: {offer.conditions.get('refund_before_departure', 'unknown')}")
    print(f"  Changeable: {offer.conditions.get('change_before_departure', 'unknown')}")

# Filter: direct flights only
direct = [o for o in flights.offers if o.outbound.stopovers == 0]

# Filter: specific airline
ba = [o for o in flights.offers if "British Airways" in o.airlines]

# Filter: refundable only
refundable = [o for o in flights.offers if o.conditions.get("refund_before_departure") == "allowed"]

# Sort by duration
by_duration = sorted(flights.offers, key=lambda o: o.outbound.total_duration_seconds)

# Cheapest offer
print(f"Best: {flights.cheapest.price} {flights.cheapest.currency}")

Error Handling

from letsfg import (
    LetsFG, LetsFGError,
    AuthenticationError, PaymentRequiredError, OfferExpiredError,
)

bt = LetsFG(api_key="trav_...")

# Handle invalid locations
try:
    flights = bt.search("INVALID", "JFK", "2026-04-15")
except LetsFGError as e:
    if e.status_code == 422:
        # Resolve the location first
        locations = bt.resolve_location("London")
        flights = bt.search(locations[0]["iata_code"], "JFK", "2026-04-15")

# Handle payment and expiry
try:
    unlocked = bt.unlock(offer_id)
except PaymentRequiredError:
    print("Run bt.setup_payment() first")
except OfferExpiredError:
    print("Offer expired — search again for fresh results")

# Handle booking failures
try:
    booking = bt.book(offer_id=unlocked.offer_id, passengers=[...], contact_email="...")
except OfferExpiredError:
    print("30-minute window expired — search and unlock again")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except LetsFGError as e:
    print(f"API error ({e.status_code}): {e.message}")

Exception	HTTP Code	Cause
AuthenticationError	401	Missing or invalid API key
PaymentRequiredError	402	No payment method (call setup_payment())
OfferExpiredError	410	Offer no longer available
LetsFGError	any	Base class for all API errors

Timeout and Retry Pattern

Airline APIs can be slow (2–15s for search). Use retry with backoff for production:

import time
from letsfg import LetsFG, LetsFGError

bt = LetsFG()

def search_with_retry(origin, dest, date, max_retries=3):
    """Retry with exponential backoff on rate limit or timeout."""
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return bt.search(origin, dest, date)
        except LetsFGError as e:
            if "429" in str(e) or "rate limit" in str(e).lower():
                wait = 2 ** attempt  # 1s, 2s, 4s
                print(f"Rate limited, waiting {wait}s...")
                time.sleep(wait)
            elif "timeout" in str(e).lower() or "504" in str(e):
                print(f"Timeout, retrying ({attempt + 1}/{max_retries})...")
                time.sleep(1)
            else:
                raise
    raise LetsFGError("Max retries exceeded")

Rate Limits

Endpoint	Rate Limit	Typical Latency
Search	60 req/min	2-15s
Resolve location	120 req/min	<1s
Unlock	20 req/min	2-5s
Book	10 req/min	3-10s

Minimizing Unlock Costs

Searching is free and unlimited. Unlock is also free. Strategy:

# Search multiple dates (free) — compare before unlocking
dates = ["2026-04-01", "2026-04-02", "2026-04-03"]
best = None
for date in dates:
    result = bt.search("LON", "BCN", date)
    if result.offers and (best is None or result.cheapest.price < best[1].price):
        best = (date, result.cheapest)

# Unlock only the winner (free)
if best:
    unlocked = bt.unlock(best[1].id)
    # Book within 30 minutes (free)
    booking = bt.book(offer_id=unlocked.offer_id, passengers=[...], contact_email="...")

Local Search (No API Key)

The SDK includes 195 connectors for airlines that run directly on your machine. No API key, no backend, completely free:

from letsfg.local import search_local

# Fires all relevant airline connectors — Ryanair, Wizz Air, EasyJet, etc.
result = await search_local("GDN", "BCN", "2026-06-15")
print(f"{result['total_results']} offers from local connectors")

# Limit browser concurrency for constrained environments
result = await search_local("GDN", "BCN", "2026-06-15", max_browsers=4)

The full search (bt.search()) runs both local connectors and cloud providers simultaneously and merges results.

Quick Start (CLI)

export LETSFG_API_KEY=trav_...

# Search (1 adult, one-way, economy — defaults)
letsfg search GDN BER 2026-03-03 --sort price

# Multi-passenger round trip
letsfg search LON BCN 2026-04-01 --return 2026-04-08 --adults 2 --children 1 --cabin M

# Business class, direct flights only
letsfg search JFK LHR 2026-05-01 --adults 3 --cabin C --max-stops 0

# Machine-readable output (for agents)
letsfg search LON BCN 2026-04-01 --json

# Unlock
letsfg unlock off_xxx

# Book
letsfg book off_xxx \
  --passenger '{"id":"pas_xxx","given_name":"John","family_name":"Doe","born_on":"1990-01-15","gender":"m","title":"mr","email":"[e-mail]"}' \
  --email [e-mail]

# Resolve location
letsfg locations "Berlin"

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
LETSFG_API_KEY	Your agent API key
LETSFG_BASE_URL	API URL (default: https://api.letsfg.co)
LETSFG_MAX_BROWSERS	Max concurrent browser instances (1–32). Auto-detected from RAM if not set.

Performance Tuning

LetsFG auto-detects your system's available RAM and scales browser concurrency:

Available RAM	Tier	Max Browsers
< 2 GB	Minimal	2
2–4 GB	Low	3
4–8 GB	Moderate	5
8–16 GB	Standard	8
16–32 GB	High	12
32+ GB	Maximum	16

from letsfg import get_system_profile, configure_max_browsers

# Check system resources and recommended concurrency
profile = get_system_profile()
print(f"RAM: {profile['ram_available_gb']:.1f} GB available")
print(f"Tier: {profile['tier']} → {profile['recommended_max_browsers']} browsers")

# Override auto-detection
configure_max_browsers(4)  # clamps to 1–32

# Via CLI
letsfg system-info
letsfg system-info --json  # machine-readable

# Override via env var
export LETSFG_MAX_BROWSERS=4
letsfg search-local LHR BCN 2026-04-15

# Override via CLI flag
letsfg search-local LHR BCN 2026-04-15 --max-browsers 4

Priority: env var > explicit config/flag > auto-detect.

How It Works

1. Search — Free, unlimited. Returns real-time offers from 400+ airlines via NDC/GDS.
2. Unlock — Confirms latest price with airline, reserves offer for 30 minutes.
3. Book — FREE after unlock. Creates real airline reservation with PNR code.

Prices are cheaper because we connect directly to airlines — no OTA markup.
