This is a quick script that I reversed engineered in order to poll ITA Matrix Airfare Search. It is still a bit rough around the edges as I try to clean it up. The ultimate goal of this is for me to monitor usage on flight fares for certain days of the weeks for multiple weeks and have it alert me on good deals. I'll eventually add some cool graphics and charts and build myself a dashboard that I can then use to display on a picture frame or something. Anyways, I hope someone else out there finds this useful.

This is a quick script that I reversed engineered in order to poll ITA Matrix Airfare Search. It is still a bit rough around the edges as I try to clean it up. The goal is to determine a correlation between seat availability and price fare information to alert me on trends for flight segments. I want to build a cool dashboard in order to feed all this information to me automatically.

Right now I use ITA Matrix for airfare search & flightstats for seat availability. I'm looking to get information from nome other sites as well in order to get better data.

Also checkout Flightstats (https://flightstats.com) its a great site for finding information about tracking. I use it to monitor whether flights are on-time or not.
