Expedia Prices

[jamiemontgomery offline]

Hi,

It would be phenomenal if this tool could search both Booking.com & Expedia prices as they both are primary websites for comparing hotel prices.

Please implement this and I would be happy to pay much more for this tool

Kind Regards
Jamie

Hi Jamie

We took a quick look at the amount of coding that would be required to implement this and it is definitely possible.

We will see if we can implement something over the coming week.

Would you like us to incorporate this feature into the large version of the price lookup tool?

Kind regards

Hi Jamie

I just thought we'd let you know that we have successfully managed to integrate Expedia prices into the tool.

If you look carefully at the image below, we have added a new dropdown that will let you choose which booking engine to use for both hotel ID lookup and price lookup.

The tool seems to be working perfectly, however we are closing down for the day here and still need to do a little more testing before we post a working demo (possibly tomorrow).

As for the reverse hotelID lookup - we haven't had a chance to look at this yet.

Kind regards

Hi Jamie

Take a look at the trial below that is able to search Booking.com, Expedia.com and Hotels.com

We are happy to scale this up to 50 hotels at a time if you need.

You don't necessarily need to have three separate workbooks (one for each booking engine) - you could split this up 1/3 Booking.com, 1/3 Expedia.com and 1/3 Hotels.com.

So far this is a bit of a work in progress and we have only linked up EUR, USD and GBP.

Kind regards

Hi Jamie

Thanks for getting back to us. We'll go ahead and code a 500 hotel version.

To answer your query, the excel Vba script within the Excel file directly polls Expedia and Booking and there are no scripts running on our server.

We do however keep a log of the IP addresses using each program and have the ability to deactivate the program if we find it is being used excessively from multiple geographic locations (i.e. it has been shared with other parties over the Internet or via email - which is against our terms).

We are currently very busy with a number of projects so please give us a few days to code this larger version.

Kind regards
