Challenge
It is important for airline employees to monitor whether partners are overcharging or undercharging for airline tickets. The rules of some sites prohibit multiple requests to them, and violation of the prohibition can lead to various kinds of blocking. It is necessary to execute a request in such a way that the program's actions are indistinguishable from human actions.
Task
Monitor airfares of online agents on their websites or metasearch sites to detect violations in setting airfares.
Solution
To solve this task, the project was divided into several stages, the main ones being:
- data warehouse preparation;
- parsing of agents' websites;
- personal account creation;
- support.
Results
The speed of processing data from aggregators and analyzing prices has increased. Instead of collecting data, a human simply decides what to do with it.
Advantage of the robot
Unlike classic automation, a robot can mimic human actions. Multiple requests to some websites can lead to various kinds of blocking. The robot helps to avoid this.
