Not to mention that companies don't share their database (large data volumes). Having a up to date database would require live feed from each provider to the search site, I think that the providers (flight companies) don't really have an interest in investing to provide a feed to every single search site (and their competitors), when they have a search API which is good enough. The first results you get are fast since they are cached and may already be out of date. | |
