Step 3 - Query data

Update query​

To send query data you now need to pass it in the body in JSON format application/json instead of passing them in the URL.

You do this by passing through a query object in a POST request.

For query in v1, searching for query = "united"​

curl --location --request 
GET 'http://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/autosuggest/v1.0/UK/GBP/en-GB/?apiKey=prtl6749387986743898559646983194&query=united'

The equivalent query in v3​

curl --location --request POST 'https://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/v3/autosuggest/flights' \
--header 'x-api-key: prtl6749387986743898559646983194' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "market": "UK",
    "locale": "en-GB",
    "query": "united"
  }'

In v3 there is a new query object that is used to search for your flights. You will need to build out this object based on your needed search criteria.
