How to get API access to Expedia

from the self-post dept.

I just started a new passion project, and I am trying to get access to Expedia’s API to build out a new travel booking site for pet focused travelers.

I have filled out Expedia’s API access form, but I have not heard back from anyone in over 2 months. I called their office number in San Fran and no one was helpful, even after bouncing around from person to person on the phone. I was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction or maybe had a better idea of which direction I could take.

Thanks in advance.

A lot of travel APIs are closed off and have minimum revenue requirements. I'd suggest trying some other travel APIs like Skyscanner or depending on your requirements building a scraper.
