Bot protection bypass for travel and airline data
Travel data tools need fresh fares, seats, and points or miles availability from airline and booking sites. The hard part is keeping those searches reliable when protected sites start returning bot challenges or 403s.
Hyper gives those teams one API for the protection layer, so they can keep search pipelines running without maintaining a custom bypass for every airline or travel site.
Protected airline and travel searches
Airlines and travel sites commonly use Akamai Bot Manager and Imperva (Incapsula), with DataDome appearing on some newer travel properties. Each can block repeated fare, award, or availability searches once the request pattern starts to look automated.
Instead of running every search through a browser or building a custom solver per site, teams send the challenge context to Hyper and continue the request from their own pipeline.
Keeping search results fresh
Travel results age quickly: fares change, seats open and close, and award availability moves throughout the day. Raw-HTTP solves help teams keep polling on schedule without paying to keep a browser fleet running around the clock.
We license the API for accessing publicly-available web data and verify customers at signup; it is built for fare, award, and availability research, not for defeating authentication or booking flows.

How Points Path keeps airline miles data live inside Google Flights
Points Path helps travelers compare cash fares against points and miles directly in Google Flights. Hyper Solutions became the antibot layer behind the airline searches that make that comparison possible at production scale.
Challenge
In September 2023, Points Path came to Hyper Solutions with a reliability problem on United.com. Their browser-extension workflow used the traveler’s own browser to fetch airline miles data and match it against Google Flights price data.
That approach worked early on, but as usage grew, Akamai started catching the repeated search pattern and returning 403s after a period of activity. The issue threatened the core product experience: adding live miles data to Google Flights without slowing down the user.
Solution
Hyper Solutions moved the fragile browser-extension fetch path to a server-side integration that generated valid Akamai sensor data and cookies over HTTP.
The first United.com flow now runs at a 98.6% success rate over the latest 30-day measurement window, giving Points Path room to keep the extension experience fast while the airline-search workload scaled beyond what user-browser fetches could reliably support.
Outcome
By June 22, 2026, Points Path uses Hyper Solutions as part of the infrastructure behind airline award and miles-data lookups.
The integration now supports almost 10 million monthly airline searches across 11 maintained airlines, without a separate reverse-engineering project for every protection change.
