Business Benefits: Provided access to revenues from travel website Lastminute.com.

Technologies: ASP.NET, ASP, C#, XML

While working for Zolv.com Ltd, one of our clients approached us about creating an XML interface with travel website Lastminute.com. Our client's travel booking system was not equipped with an XML interface and did not allow any access to underlying data stores or manipulation of data before presentation.

Enter innovation!

Using HttpWebRequests and responses we simulated user requests to the booking system and parsed their data to extract the information we needed. XML responses are then generated from this data and returned to Lastminute.com.

As pages were parsed, objects were created from the data. The top level booking object contained flight collections, passengers, flights, etc. giving greater control in manipulating data than ever before.
