Getting Started

First of all, you need to create an account:

1. Go to our portal and click on register
2. Fill in the form using a valid email address and click on the Create account button. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you have just registered.
3. Open your mail and click on Activate your account.

What's next? Our get started guide contains detailed information about how to get your API key and make your first API call.

The APIs use OAuth2 as authentication mechanism. The authorization guide provides deep technical information on how to get a token in order to perform API calls.

You can take a look at our introduction videos helping you to get started:

• Introduction to Amadeus for Developers
• Amadeus for Developers Self-Service API Catalog
• Getting Started with Amadeus for Developers Self-Service APIs
• Amadeus for Developers Hackathon Resources

Postman

If you love Postman as we do, you'll be glad to see our public postman collection.

New to Postman? Don't miss our How to play with Self-Service APIs with no code article in our blog.

Examples

• All SDK README files contain API calls samples .
• You can find all the endpoints in self-contained code examples, ready to be used.
• The following table contains some showcases/prototypes which integrate some of the Self-Service APIs:

Data-Collection

During the hackathon you'll use the Test environment, which means that our APIs are using mostly cache data. You can find which data is available on the Data collection repository.

FAQ

• When I go to the portal I see two API catalogs: Self-Service and Enterprise. Which one should I use during the Hackathon?

Amadeus for Developers includes two different offers: Self-Service and Enterprise, each meeting different customer needs. During the Hackathon you will use Self-Service APIs as Enterprise is tailored to companies with scale needs and leading brands in the travel industry.

• When I create an application on the portal I see two environments: Testing and Production. What's that?

Testing environment is the default environment for all new applications. This is where you will enjoy a fixed free number of free API call quota per month. When you reach the limit, you will receive an error message. No worries because you have enough calls for the Hackathon!

Once you feel that your application is ready to be deployed to the Real World™, you will want to move it to Production Environment. There is no need to move to Production in a Hackathon unless you are willing to pay!
