I want to be able to display rates for each hotel in the form of a bar graph, similar to kayak and hipmunks price graph for flight search.
To pull hotel rates and inventory for a hotel booking app, using APIs from well-known providers like Amadeus, Expedia, or Booking.com is essential. These APIs offer real-time access to rates, availability, and other hotel information. Additionally, you can integrate with a Property Management System (PMS) or a Channel Manager for smaller hotels, which helps ensure consistent data across multiple platforms.
For visualizing hotel rates in a graph format, similar to Kayak’s or Hipmunk’s flight graphs, you can use libraries like Chart.js or D3.js to dynamically present price trends based on the API data.
