Despegar

Despegar (Decolar in Brazil) is the leading online travel agency in Latin America, selling flights, hotels, activities, car rentals, insurance and vacation packages across the region. Its Despegar B2B platform exposes a partner API ecosystem so travel agencies and resellers can integrate hotel, flight and activity search, pre-booking, payment, booking and after-sales (cancellations, rescheduling, special requests) directly into their own systems, backed by geo/common-assets reference data and an event/notification channel. APIs are versioned under /v3, authenticated with a per-client API key (x-apikey header) with separate test and production keys, protected with mTLS for B2B transactions, and now also reachable through published Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI agents. This profile was enriched from Despegar's public developer documentation at api-docs.despegar.com.

Despegar publishes 20 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Availability API, Booking API, Cancellations API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Travel, Hotels, and Flights.

Despegar’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, authentication, sandbox, and 17 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/despegar: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
