A techy question for you all. How would I get the data for something like holiday availabilty or flight availability? Is there an API or something that I can tap into to draw the information from. Is this going to cost me?
Sorry if this is too techy for here, but I thought someone might know someone or have a link.

Where do you want this data from? Flickr? Expedia?

Well I was thinking in terms of for example package holidays from various companies or even flights.
So really from a variety of sources but commercial ones I guess.

I expect you need to tap an API for each of them.
I doubt very much that Expedia resell their hard-won information.

That's what I thought. OK back to the drawing board or client or whatever . . .

you can obtain the feed via site scape. but they can sue you for that.
all the data feeds for airlines etc have external feed but you need to pay for that.
http://www.kayak.com works on this principle.
