Fly Frugal Travel Data missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

flight

list_flight_deals

List the cheapest round-trip economy fares Fly Frugal has recently observed, from one departure airport or across all tracked US airports. Use it for questions like "cheap flights from SFO" or "where can I fly for under $500". Each deal has origin, destination_airport, label (airport name), country, places, departure_date and return_date, nights, price and currency (whole US dollars), airlines, longest_layover_minutes, observed_at, and Google's price insight when checked: google_price_signal (low, typical or high), google_usual_low/high, google_savings, google_share_url and google_signal_checked_at. Prices are observations that can change or sell out, so tell users to confirm before booking. For only deals re-verified today, use get_todays_deals.

itineraries

list_itineraries

Browse Fly Frugal's published day-by-day budget travel itineraries. Use this to discover which destinations have a guide, then call get_itinerary with a returned slug for one guide's preview. Each item has slug, country_name, tagline, days_count, a preview, cover and first-day image URLs, price_cents and currency for the full guide, updated_at, and pdf_ready. Results are newest first. Only public previews are returned; the paid full guide is never included.

itinerary

get_itinerary

Get the public preview of one Fly Frugal itinerary by its slug, as returned by list_itineraries. Returns the same fields as a list item: country_name, tagline, days_count, the preview content, image URLs, the full guide's price (price_cents, currency), updated_at and pdf_ready. Use it to describe a trip to the user or decide whether the full guide fits; the complete paid day-by-day guide is never returned. An unknown slug returns an error.

todays

get_todays_deals

Return only the strongest current deals: fares whose Google savings insight was checked today (America/Los_Angeles calendar day) and shows a positive saving versus the usual price. Use it when the user asks for today's deals or wants prices that are freshly verified. Each deal has the same fields as list_flight_deals, plus count. If nothing was verified today the list is empty; say so instead of presenting older fares, or offer list_flight_deals for recent observations.
