We're looking for a programmer to build a utility, implemented as a .NET 2.0 Class Library (VB.NET), which will retrieve flight status information from a airline website. This is essentially a website scraper. The utility should run on our ASP.NET 2.0 website
Tasks
1) scrap the website [[login to view URL]][1] based on the parameters ie
-From Location
-To Location
-Start Date
-Return Date
-Passengers
a Adults
b Childres
c Infant
-One-Way/ Return
-Currency
We want in return:
A) The Minimum Fare and Currency Code.
NB the "Total price" on the page does not automatically select the cheapest [login to view URL] cheapest fare is found by adding the cheapest Outbound an the cheapest Inbound fare
If there is now flights on the selected date, return price as 0
B) A list of
a. Airline Code / Flight number
b. Inbound/Outbound
c. Currency (ISO only)
d. Amount
2) Given the same parameters as in 1) we want the URL to link directly from our website to the Step 1 page (ie the page listing the Inbound/Outbound and displaying "Total price".) Do a flight search to find the "Step 1 " page.
It is OK yo use a local web page to be able to post to flynordic
