No product API. The only machine-readable surface is a default WordPress RSS feed at /feed/, which aggregators parse for deals; it exposes no structured price, date, or route fields. Affiliate revenue flows through partner OTAs, with no developer or partner portal of its own.
Secret Flying scores F on the API Report Card. No product API. The only machine-readable surface is a default WordPress RSS feed at /feed/, which aggregators parse for deals; it exposes no structured price, date, or route fields. Affiliate revenue flows through partner OTAs, with no developer or partner portal of its own.
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.
Secret Flying is a free consumer flight-deal alert website founded in 2014 by Moroccan-British entrepreneur Tarik Allag.
Vertical: Consumer Travel / Flight Deals (does not map to any Supergood ICP vertical, closest fit is 'misc'). A reader lands on the website or opens the mobile app, sets a 'home airport' (city), and optionally subscribes to free email alerts.
Medium in the niche free flight-deal-alert category, negligible everywhere else.
Secret Flying holds very little 'platform-critical' operating data for any third party: Member account: email, home airport / departure city, notification frequency, opt-in preferences.
Founded 2014 by Tarik Allag; ~12 years old as of 2026. The consumer website is a WordPress-style content site (the public RSS at /feed/ is consistent with WordPress) with a clean, deal-card UI optimized for mobile and social sharing.
No public API exists, so there are no API-specific complaints to surface, and there is no developer community to file them. The RSS feed at /feed/ is unofficial in the sense that it is a WordPress default rather than a supported product surface, there is no SLA, no schema versioning, and no documentation of fields (origin, destination, cabin class, expiration) so consumers must regex-parse post titles.

Common alternatives include Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights), The Flight Deal, Holiday Pirates / Urlaubspiraten, Thrifty Traveler, Dollar Flight Club, Jack's Flight Club. 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.
