Visa and Covid-Restrictions API

2 points by mohaknahta ↗ HN
Would an API that could surface visa and covid requirements for a given country be useful to anyone?

One obvious case is to display such information if you have a travel product.

There already is a VISA/Warning api product for this by the IATA. Pretty pricey though. https://www.iata.org/en/publications/timatic/timaticweb-trav...

Such an API might be useful to every organisation, which is in internatinoal travel or sells international travel products.

Yep! I went ahead and spoke to IATA. It's crazy expensive - starting price is $26,000.

Their customer is airline so small amount but for most hackers, probably a no-go at that price i guess.
