Overview

The Fares24 API allows you to decode PNR (Passenger Name Record) data programmatically. Our service supports all major GDS systems including Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo, providing a unified way to transform raw PNR data into structured, easy-to-use flight information.

Getting Started

1. Create an account at Fares24
2. Navigate to your dashboard and generate an API key
3. Use the API key in your requests via the Bearer token authentication

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using Bearer token:

Requests without valid authentication will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.

Endpoints

Example Implementations

cURL

    curl -X POST https://api.fares24.com/v1/pnr \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"dump":"1 BA 117 20JUN LGWJFK SS1   840A 1110A /DCBA /E"}'

Python

    import requests
    
    api_key = 'your_api_key_here'
    url = 'https://api.fares24.com/v1/pnr'
    
    headers = {
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    
    data = {
        'dump': '1 BA 117 20JUN LGWJFK SS1   840A 1110A /DCBA /E'
    }
    
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
    flights = response.json()

JavaScript

    const decodePNR = async (pnrData) => {
        const response = await fetch('https://api.fares24.com/v1/pnr', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Bearer your_api_key_here',
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                dump: pnrData
            })
        });
        
        return await response.json();
    };

Demo

You can try out our API using the following demo credentials:

    API Key: demo_key_123
    Endpoint: https://api.fares24.com/v1/pnr

Example PNR data for testing:

    1 BA 117 20JUN LGWJFK SS1   840A 1110A /DCBA /E
    2 AA 100 21JUN JFKLAX SS1   100P  400P /DCAA /E

Notes

• The API has rate limiting of 10 requests per minute per API key
• PNR data must be valid and contain at least one flight segment
• Response times are typically under 500ms
• All times in responses are in ISO 8601 format
• Distances are provided in both kilometers and miles
