What I'm Building

As a budget traveler, I often want to see all my accommodation options in one place. I'm not overly picky about where I stay, but I've spent so much time with 7 tabs open trying to search for somewhere that fits my budget and needs at the time. I want to make it easier to see all your options in one place with your budget, so I'm developing a small, simple app that pulls data from popular hotel and rental booking sites like Booking.com and Airbnb so that you can see more options all in one place.

How I'm Building

I'm using Node.js and Express on the backend with React on the frontend. I've used RapidAPI for an API that collects data from AirBnB and created a custom API for Booking.com data via webscraping with Cheerio. I decided to create an API for the Booking.com Data because I wasn't able to find an API that easily returned the data I needed using the query parameters I required.

TOOLS, FRAMEWORKS, & LANGUAGES USED:

• JavaScript
• Node.js & Express
• React
• VS Code
• Git & GitHub
• Postman

This is a work in progress

Please keep in mind that this is currently a work in progress! I will be updating this project consistently, so feel free to keep up!

Future Plans:

• Add user registration and allow users to save listings
