description: >-
  Virgin Atlantic publishes no first-party client library, SDK or CLI for its NDC APIs in any
  package registry, and operates no public GitHub organisation. Partners are expected to build
  directly against the IATA NDC 21.3 XSDs (schemas/) with their own XML tooling - the build guide's
  only integration instruction is to set three HTTP headers on a POST and use UTF-8. One
  third-party community package exists on PyPI and is recorded here for completeness; it is
  explicitly not affiliated with the airline and targets the consumer website, not the NDC API.

    summary: A Python package for fetching Virgin Atlantic flight prices.
    note: >-
      Community package. Its own README states "This package is not affiliated with Virgin
      Atlantic." It queries an undocumented GraphQL surface behind the consumer website to scrape
      flight prices - it is not a client for the IATA NDC distribution API described in this repo,
      and Virgin Atlantic publishes no such consumer API.

  note: >-
    In the absence of an SDK, the practical build path published by Virgin Atlantic is standard XML
    tooling against the IATA schemas.
