BBVA API Market
To make it easier to look for flights, Liverpool’s John Lennon airport (LJLA) connects the search engine on its website with that of the Skyscanner API so passengers can see the comparative data on this platform and find the best available prices for their flights.
Alaska Airlines was one of the first to develop an iPhone app to allow users to access their boarding passes, a system which today has been copied by numerous airline companies.

Lyft is a private transport service based in San Francisco and operating in 40 American states. Its aim is to improve mobility and offer competitive prices. It uses Google Maps APIs to connect passengers and drivers in a simple way.

Some months ago, BBVA API_Market took part in “Hackatrips”, an event organized by minube and Fitur.
Over 80 programmers and designers in this hackathon worked with APIs from BBVA, Oracle, HotelsCombined and minube, looking for disruptive ideas with which to resolve the challenges facing the tourist sector.
The first of the prizes awarded went to the Traveler Soul initiative, an app that made use of the APIs of all the participating companies to enable users to “enjoy the best experiences” in the places they travel to without the need to carry their baggage around with them.
For its part, BBVA recognized the creators of Grupa, an app that proposes the creation of user profiles based on their commercial behavior derived from the credit card spending data that (with prior consent) they cede to the app for analysis. This segmentation is then used to find similar profiles to suggest group travel experiences.
