Introduction

The Where to Credit API provides mileage earning calculations for frequent flyer programs around the world.

The API accepts a combination of flights and booking classes and, using our rules engine, returns the number of miles earned for each frequent flyer program in JSON format.

The API can be accessed with these header values from here:

Authorization (Subscribers only)

Subscribers authenticate to API via the Authorization-Token request header value, which must be added to each API request.
