Capabilities

Tools 9

get_catalogue_stats

Get the size and freshness of SkyBuyFly's price comparison catalogue: the number of products, the number of airports and when the figures were generated. Relevant when asked how much SkyBuyFly covers.

Discovered
get_featured_products

Get SkyBuyFly's featured airport duty-free products with their airport prices, and the most popular catalogue categories. Not personalised. Relevant when a traveller wants inspiration or asks what is popular at duty free.

Discovered
get_live_prices

Check a product's prices live at every airport shop that sells it: SkyBuyFly opens each shop's page now and confirms the current price. Every offer comes back marked live_confirmed (checked just now) or stored (the last observed price, with its date), cheapest first. Takes about 5-15 seconds. Relevant when a traveller wants current prices or is deciding where to buy. A check of the same product within a minute returns the same result; when SkyBuyFly's price service is busy the answer is rate_limited and lists no offers.

Discovered
get_price_history

Get a product's observed prices per airport over time: SkyBuyFly's 50 most recent observations (the answer says which dates they cover), as each airport's price changes, with the lowest and latest price. Relevant when a traveller asks whether a price is good, has changed or how it developed. It does not check current prices.

Discovered
get_product

Get one SkyBuyFly product by its product_id: its description and size, every stored offer per airport shop (the shop's own price, the price in the requested currency, when it was observed, a link to the SkyBuyFly deal page) and similar products. Relevant when a traveller wants every airport and shop for one product. The prices are stored observations; this tool does not check them live.

Discovered
list_airports

List the airports whose duty-free shops SkyBuyFly compares: IATA code, name, city and the shops' store domains, optionally only those matching a text (code, name or city). Relevant for finding an airport's IATA code or answering which airports are covered.

Discovered
list_currencies

List the currencies SkyBuyFly shows prices in (ISO 4217 code, name, symbol). Every price tool takes one of these codes as currency.

Discovered
lookup_barcode

Find the SkyBuyFly product that carries a barcode (the digits of an EAN-8, UPC-A, EAN-13 or GTIN-14, e.g. read from a box or a photo) with its price at each airport shop that has an offer for that code, and when it was seen. An empty list means no airport shop SkyBuyFly compares sells it. It does not search by name.

Discovered
search_products

Search SkyBuyFly's price comparison of airport duty-free shops by product name, brand or category. Returns one card per product with its price at every airport shop that sells it (cheapest first, in the requested currency), its lowest price (an airport's or an online shop's), its product_id and a link to its SkyBuyFly page. Relevant when a traveller asks what something costs at airports, where it is cheapest, or whether an airport sells it. With airports (IATA codes) it returns only the products listed at every one of them, each card showing those airports' prices. Prices are the latest stored observations, each with its date; this tool does not check them live.
