WhatsApp itself does not offer a direct API for flight search, but you can integrate a flight search service with WhatsApp through the following approaches:
### 1. **Twilio API for WhatsApp**:
- **Twilio** provides an API to send and receive WhatsApp messages.
- You can integrate a flight search service (such as Skyscanner, Amadeus, or Kiwi.com) with Twilio to allow users to request flight information via WhatsApp.
- Example flow:
- A user sends a message like "Find flights from New York to London."
- Your backend fetches flight data from an API (Skyscanner, etc.) and replies to the user through Twilio's WhatsApp API.
### 2. **Amadeus API**:
- **Amadeus** provides a comprehensive flight search API, which you can use to search flights, get flight offers, and more.
- You can integrate Amadeus with Twilio to respond to WhatsApp messages with flight search results.
### 3. **Skyscanner Flight Search API**:
- **Skyscanner** offers a flight search API that allows you to search flights and get price comparisons.
- Once integrated with your backend, you can use a service like Twilio to allow users to interact through WhatsApp for real-time flight searches.
