API or a Web Scrapper For Hotel Booking APP

[Manya_9087]

Hi

Manya is here, I'm looking for an API or a web scrapper that can get integrated with a hotel booking application and provide pricing data for different hotels.
I have developed a travel booking app before, but this time I want to provide users with the best competitive rates possible.

Please share the API or any other possible way to make this happen.

How much experience do you have working with LiveCode?

Please can you develop a whole software suite for me for nothing so I don't have to
make any effort . . . ?

In all fairness, looking for libraries to handle common tasks like scraping is not unreasonable.

In the case I'd put 50/50 odds on this post just being a spam lead-in. I would like to be wrong, so I've invited the OP to discuss what connection there may be with these forums. If no answer is provided within a few days I'll drop this thread.

Hi Richard,
I'm a new user on this forum. I was digging through the internet for a good hotel rate provider tool that can help me add the feature to my current hotel booking app project.
I also tried out, quora and searched many tech forums. I decided to post this question here because I thought I will get the information here probably. And, as you said web scraping in not unreasonable if it's used for a common task. I'm not here to spam just to learn and contribute.

Yeah, of course, I will. I will need basic information about the project.

This is the forum for the LiveCode programming language. Are you using LiveCode for this project?

Yes! I do.

Scraping is useful for small things and one-offs, but it's an endless revision nightmare for ongoing work.

Where available, APIs can provide the data more easily and in a more usable format.

The Expedia API would seem a good starting point:
