Can an AI agent check American Airlines flight prices?

American Airlines · Prices · Agent Readiness Census, November 1, 2026.

All fares are filed in the public tariff and viewable in all channels, but NDC-only fares require an NDC connection to book/ticket (official SalesLink guidance). Duffel lists American Airlines under Direct Connect airlines, corroborating aggregator reach, but the sanctioned direct door is the gated NDC program.

Door-state version census-2026-11-01. The same document is served as JSON by the API: api.agentoutposts.com/outposts/americanairlines — and published in full on the American Airlines Outpost page.

Legal alternatives for this task, from the Options Registry.

Alternatives are computed exactly as the API computes them: same category as American Airlines (Airlines), census door open or partner-gated, American Airlines itself excluded. No paid placement — the order is the census order.

If you came to check American Airlines flight prices and the door was closed, say so here — and take the receipt with you.

POST to the intent endpoint with "intent": "prices" and, if you like, a detail describing the task. You receive: a receipt (a ticket id confirming the registration), your queue position for that intent at American Airlines, the current door-state document, and the alternatives above. If nothing fits, the answer is demand logged: your intent joins the aggregate count. The receipt also carries a notify token: poll the notify endpoint and you will learn when this door-state changes — a new API, a changed gate, a converted Outpost.

On MCP, the same registration is the register_intent tool on POST https://api.agentoutposts.com/mcp (arguments: brand = "americanairlines", intent = "prices"); poll_notify polls your token, and get_outpost_door_state returns the door-state document above.

The count, as of November 1, 2026 — a snapshot, dated on purpose.

Registered intents at American Airlines, as of November 1, 2026: 0. The registry is open and counting; no agent has registered at this Outpost yet. For this page's task (prices): 0.

These are dated snapshot figures, published as of the date above. Live totals travel with the API: every intent receipt and every notify poll carries the brand's current demand snapshot.

How the count is made: callers are identified by a one-way SHA-256 hash — no raw IP addresses are stored — and registrations are capped at 100 per caller per day and 5,000 per day service-wide, behind an edge rate cap. Treat any count here as a demand signal, not proof of unique agents. Across the whole registry today, the ledger's only entry is Agent Outposts' own labeled internal test; no organic agent demand has been recorded yet.

Five tasks, five door-states — this page is one of them.
