Mock data vs. API? about hotelhopper HOT 3 CLOSED

We should consider creating a mock data model and then seeing what information we can autofill in with APIs then we can add in our own data where it is missing from out model. I found this API https://developer.expediapartnersolutions.com/about/ which supposedly allows you to freely query and use the data so long as your application is not published without their approval. Seeing as this is only a school project it shouldn't be a problem. We can also get some basic information from TripAdvisor.

Update: already applied for Expedia ESP Rapid API. They will review and get back to me within 4 weeks. Maybe we should try Mock data or other API in case they don't approve.

Here is my report on the different APIs I've found. Unfortunately it seems we will mostly have to generate our own content but we may be able to supplement our content with images and such from one of these APIs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nqfjNjQUjcyYPelJ3KikXRyfHMDHRYBuqfERUwQROCo/edit
