How does the decolar.com site perform the fare search?

12

I'm thinking of creating some services to monitor airline fares and would like to know how the decolar.com website performs its searches. I mean, what kind of strategy does it use, whether it's some kind of request on a specific URL of the sites or a robot that goes there on the same site and queries and waits for the page to load with the results and reads the HTML and writes the results. Could someone explain how?

There are several companies that make Webservice available: Gol, Tourico, Webjet, Tam among others.

Responding to your question, the site decolar.com uses the system Amadeus to make your inquiries.

One solution I've already used is the FlightAware API , but it only works with international flights and the license is pay. It uses an XML-based search engine.

Another one that can help is the Travelport that has a developer-only area with free Webinars and support

If none of these help you, try to contact your own flight companies. You'll have to work your lip and try to get in touch with someone from within the companies.
