search_flights

Simple API that retrieves flight information from the Amadeus API

Idea

Designed in the Go Programming Language using the Gin framework. This API consults the Self-Servide APIs from Amadeus, retrieves a JSON file and parses it to get:

• Origin: IATA and country codes of origin airport
• Destination: IATA and country codes of destination airport
• Airline
• Flight number
• Price in USD

as output in JSON format.

Prerequisites

git clone [email protected]:UberChili/search_flights.git

2. Set the Amadeus API credentials as environment variables:

export AMAD_API_SECRET=[amadeus-api-secret]

3. Build and run the application:

./search_flights
# or:
go run .

The API will be available at http://localhost:8080
