Culture information
When calling our API data you will need to provide responses with localization by market, locale (language), and currency, so these three parameters must be added to every request.
We provide a Culture API to get all the markets, locales and currencies we support. See Culture API Documentation
Sample of these parameters:
| title | description | sample |
|---|---|---|
market | Market where search is coming from. | UK |
locale | Language to be used for the search. | en-GB |
currency | Currency that the search result prices are returned in | GBP |
With the Culture API we provide a endpoint so that you can gather these details to provide to your travelers.
/markets
You can use the /markets endpoint to retrieve the market countries that we support.
Most suppliers (airlines, travel agents, and car hire dealers) set their fares based on the market (or country of purchase). It is therefore necessary to specify the market country in every query.
The names of the markets returned are localized based on a locale passed as a parameter.
/locales
You can use the /locales endpoint to retrieve the locales that we support to translate your content.
The names of the locales returned are in the native language associated with the locale.
/currencies
You can use the /currencies endpoint to retrieve the currencies that we support and information about how we format
them in Skyscanner.
