Question: Ticketing/ Booking System

[pildex02]

Good day!!! mga SB, magtatanung lang sana ako about sa mga booking system, I'm planning kasi to develop an Booking system ng mga airlines using PHP, pero I have no experience sa booking system.

Q1: How to display any promo's or available ticket from different airlines? Do I need to scrapped their data from their website ?


Ty much mga ka SB.

Actually, the term is SCRAPE or pwedeng MINE. You scrape their (Airline's, and other booking sites) site for booking / promo data, process it, save it to your database, then display it on your site.

Hindi kasi enough kung maghihintay ka lang ng info from the airline para malaman mo ang promo. At siguradong may ibang sites na mauuna sayo about the promo, so ang gagawin mo, yung crawlers mo will crawl their sites 24/7 to check for any changes / new records to display.

i suggest to build your scraper to behave like a human would, be careful on scraping a site, your IP will be banned if you're too agressive, plus youll be presented with turing tests (captchas) i've seen this on many high traffic sites.

best scraper i've used so far is scrapy, python nga lang.
