The free allowance
- 500 free requests per account, once. They never renew.
- A verified email is required to use them.
- After them, every call is metered and needs a card on file.
- Booking and servicing fees always come on top of the call.
- Every call made with an API key counts, sandbox included. All of an agency’s keys share one allowance.
- Not counted: requests refused before they run (invalid key, billing refusals) and Norba-side errors (5xx).
Example: 4,000 airline calls and 1,000 data calls
First month: 3,500 × €0.005 + 1,000 × €0.0025 = €20.00
Following months: 4,000 × €0.005 + 1,000 × €0.0025 = €22.50
Still have questions?
What if I search far more than I book?
Each airline limits searches per booking. Past that limit, requests to that airline cost €0.01 more until a booking brings you back under it. Your searches are never blocked.
What is the base fare?
The airline's fare before taxes and carrier charges. Extras are billed separately.
Is an unpaid hold charged?
Yes. A hold is a booking. Paying it later costs nothing more.
What if I cancel straight away?
Within 24 hours, every fee on the booking is credited back.
How do I get the enterprise rate?
Write to hello@norba.io: 1.29% from your first booking, dedicated infrastructure and custom SLAs.
Can I use my own IATA or ARC accreditation?
Yes, on Enterprise. Otherwise you sell under ours, with no paperwork.
