Not able to get all airports from Airport Endpoint

Question

Hello,

When I run the Airport endpoint, I am not able to get all the airports as it stops alphabetically at RZZ.

There are still airports after RZZ (e.g., YUl, YYZ, etc.)

What should I do to get around this

Thanks

Hi,

The Skyscanner API does not provide a list of airports. The /flights/airports endpoint contains airports that I have collected from many websites, so it is not complete.

I have just added the /flights/skyId-list endpoint, which is a list of skyIds that I have gathered from the /flights/auto-complete endpoint.

I have noticed that skyId is similar to the airport code, so I hope this will be helpful to you.

Thanks.

Hello!

Apologies I wasn't clear. When I use the following script in Python, I do not get the full list of airports. It stops after the letter R. For example, this script would not return YYZ even though it is a valide commercial airport.

What do you suggest I do?

Script here:

import requests

url = "https://sky-scanner3.p.rapidapi.com/flights/airports"

headers = {
	"X-RapidAPI-Key": "xxxxxx",
	"X-RapidAPI-Host": "sky-scanner3.p.rapidapi.com"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

print(response.json())

Hi,

The airports RZZ and YUL do not exist on the Skyscanner website, so you cannot search with those airports. The airport YYZ works normally.

Thanks.
