Free test data collection of Self-Service APIs
Amadeus for Developers offers a test environment with free limited data. This allows developers to build and test their applications before deploying them to production. To access real-time data, you will need to move to the production environment.
Warning
It is important to note that the test environment protects our customers and data and it's exclusively intended for development purposes.
Test vs Production
The test environment has the following differences with the production:
| Billing | Rate Limits | Data | Base URL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test | Free monthly quota | 10 TPS | Limited, cached | test.api.amadeus.com |
| Production | Unlimited | 40 TPS | Unlimited, real-time | api.amadeus.com |
Check out the rate limits guide and pricing page if you want to get more information on the specific topics. In this tutorial you can learn how to build a mock server in Postman to help you consume less of your free quota.
Important
Please note that in the production environment, you will only be charged for API calls that exceed the monthly free limit. Our Flight Order Management API, for instance, may offer a free limit of up to 10,000 calls. So, by registering for production, you can enjoy the benefits of free quotas while accessing our APIs for the latest and unrestricted data without any hidden costs.
API usage
To make sure you don't pass your monthly quota, you can go to My Self-Service Workspace > API usage and quota and review how many transactions you've performed. In case you pass the limit, you will need to wait for the new month and your quota will be renewed.
Information
It may take up to 12 minutes to display your most recent API calls.
