The best Travel APIs (discover & contribute)


APIs and data feeds are the lifeblood of the travel industry. They power everything from selling flight tickets to beautiful map-based travel guides.

Think about it. It’s amazing that entrepreneurs can make use of all the existing infrastructure and data to build exciting new things on top of it. Want to build an recommendation engine for worldwide spontaneous trips, combining flight ticket prices and weather data? Not a problem.
This is why we want to start a collection of great travel APIs to work with. The following list is certainly missing a ton of interesting services, so please drop us a line, if you know of other exciting APIs. The only two requirements are that the API is related to the realm of travel and somewhat universal (public transportation data for an individual city is great but not for this list).

Accommodation

HotelsCombined Data FeedsHotel metasearch (price comparison) data
Expedia Affiliate Network APIFull-stack hotel search and booking API
MakCorps Hotel Review Data APIAccess to data about hotel quality & performance extracted from online reviews published on various booking sites

HomeAway PlatformAccess to more than 1 millions vacation rental listings
Zilyo RESTful APIBundles listings from various vacation rental sites (AirBnB, HomeAway etc.)
ZUMATA Hotel Booking APIAggregates hotel inventory from 60+ suppliers at makes it all bookable

What we are going to do exactly is to make a spaceship able to move and shoot, enemy waves coming through and a beautiful animated background with moving clouds. The first part (this story) will focus on the background. Ready guys? Let’s nail it! Getting started Let’s start by setting up our project: I uploaded a code structure already set so we are all working with the same base.
