Their was one more website, TravelJini.Com, but looks like it has went out of business. Sure the shakeout will be hard and lot of international players like Hotels.Com, Orbitz, Expedia will make their presence felt very soon.
None of these websites provide an API for Developers to build a website or a mashup or a fare comparison chart. Even foreign companies like Travelocity and eBay when they come to India, they forget about the Developer program.
