SkyScanner RapidAPI未返回返程航班问题求助

Hey there! I’ve worked with the Skyscanner API via RapidAPI a few times, so let’s break down why you’re not seeing return flight quotes in your response.

First, let’s look at the core issue: your request includes the inboundpartialdate parameter, but the returned Quotes array only has an outbound flight entry. Here are the most likely reasons and fixes:

1. No Available Return Flight Quotes for Your Selected Date #

The Browsequotes API only returns quotes where both outbound and inbound flights exist and have pricing data for your specified dates. For your query (outbound 2019-12-01, inbound 2019-12-10), it’s possible that:

• The carriers serving this route (like Alaska Airlines, jetBlue) don’t operate return flights on 2019-12-10
• Skyscanner’s database doesn’t have pricing data for that specific inbound date yet

Fix: Try adjusting the inbound date to a nearby day (e.g., 2019-12-08 or 2019-12-11) or use a broader date range like 2019-12 (instead of a specific day) to see if any return quotes show up.

2. Verify Parameter Format & Usage #

Double-check that your inboundpartialdate is formatted correctly (you’re using YYYY-MM-DD, which is right), but keep in mind:

• The inboundpartialdate is a "partial" date, so using just the year and month (2019-12) will return all possible return flights in December 2019. This is a good way to confirm if there are any return options at all for your route.
• Make sure your market (UK), currency (GBP), and language (en-US) parameters are compatible with the route you’re querying—though this is less likely to be the issue here since you’re getting outbound data.

3. Rule Out Code/Request Issues #

To confirm it’s not a problem with your Go code, test the same API call using a tool like Postman or curl. Here’s a sample curl command you can use (replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual RapidAPI key):

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://skyscanner-skyscanner-flight-search-v1.p.rapidapi.com/apiservices/browsequotes/v1.0/UK/GBP/en-US/SFO-sky/JFK-sky/2019-12-01?inboundpartialdate=2019-12-10' \
  --header 'X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'X-RapidAPI-Host: skyscanner-skyscanner-flight-search-v1.p.rapidapi.com'

If the curl response also lacks return quotes, it’s definitely an API data availability issue, not your code.

4. Try the BrowseRoutes API as an Alternative #

If Browsequotes isn’t giving you the return data you need, consider using Skyscanner’s BrowseRoutes API instead. This endpoint is designed to show all available route combinations (including round-trip) for a given origin/destination and date range, which might surface return options that Browsequotes misses.

Final Thoughts #

Most likely, the issue is simply that there are no return flight quotes available for your exact inbound date. Adjusting the date or using a broader range should help you see if round-trip options exist for that route.
