Example Implementation

Example of integrating Amadeus API for flight search:

1. Sign up for an Amadeus API key:

Create an account at Amadeus for Developers.

2. Make a flight search request:

using System.Net.Http;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class AmadeusService


{
private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;

public AmadeusService(HttpClient httpClient)


{
_httpClient = httpClient;
_httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://test.api.amadeus.com/");
_httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new
MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
}

public async Task<string> GetFlightsAsync(string origin, string


destination, string departureDate)
{
var token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN";
_httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new
AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);

var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync($"v2/shopping/flight-


offers?originLocationCode={origin}&destinationLocationCode=
{destination}&departureDate={departureDate}&adults=1");

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}

3. Call the service from your controller:

public class FlightsController : Controller


{
private readonly AmadeusService _amadeusService;

public FlightsController(AmadeusService amadeusService)


{
_amadeusService = amadeusService;
}

public async Task<IActionResult> Search(string origin, string


destination, string departureDate)
{
var flights = await _amadeusService.GetFlightsAsync(origin,
destination, departureDate);
return View(flights); // Parse and pass the flight data to your view
}
}

These APIs should provide a good starting point for your "Travel Genie" project. Be sure to review the
documentation and terms of use for each service to ensure they meet your project requirements.
