Hello and Welcome,
Nice ideas. Do you have access to these APIs already? Seems there are a number of options to use NDC and looking here will certainly uncover where BAs own website is lacking.
If you were able to match some of ITA matrix' functionality in terms of finding appropriate tier point runs you would have some users here, especially if you are calculating and showing tier points as well. I wouldn't concentrate on anything commercially available/available in a good way thru their own app.
And perhaps one word of caution, there is a website called baredemptionfinder (now rewardflightfinder) that uses APIs to pull award flights however that was down a while ago for a significant amount of time due to an API issue so there are potential risks to things changing.
finally is this a commercial plan or something you are just doing as a side project?
all the best with it.
