Frequently asked questions
Scott's Cheap Flights scores F on the API Report Card. No API in any form: no endpoints, webhooks, RSS, or SDKs. The only external surface is an affiliate program run through Impact Radius, which provides tracking links for marketing attribution, not data. Mobile app endpoints are private and off limits under the terms of service.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Scott's Cheap Flights, rebranded to Going in February 2023, is a Denver-based consumer flight-deal alert service founded by Scott Keyes in 2015 after he stumbled on a $130 NYC-to-Milan roundtrip and shared it with friends.
Vertical: Consumer Travel / Flight Deals (does not map to any Supergood ICP vertical, closest fit is 'misc'). Member signs up at going.com, selects home airport(s) and trip preferences (regions, cabin class, dates of flexibility).
Medium in the niche consumer flight-deal-alert category, negligible everywhere else. Going has 2M+ subscribers and strong consumer-press visibility (NYT, Today Show, GMA, Travel + Leisure, TrustPilot 'Excellent'), but it is invisible as a platform in any SaaS/API/B2B sense.
Going holds relatively little 'platform-critical' operating data for any third party: Member account: email, home airport(s), trip-region preferences, cabin-class preference, notification frequency.
Founded 2015 as Scott's Cheap Flights, rebranded to Going February 2023 (rebrand led by DesignStudio after reviewing 3,000 candidate names). 11 years old as of 2026.
No public API exists, so there are no API-specific complaints to surface, there is also no developer community to file them. The Going affiliate program (via Impact Radius) is marketing-only; publishers cannot programmatically pull deal feeds, member data, or booking events into their own products.

Common alternatives include Thrifty Traveler, Dollar Flight Club, Jack's Flight Club, FareDrop, Secret Flying, The Flight Deal. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
