Specific Price Monitoring

[albatross710]

Is there an online comparison site that will give an update when a hotel price drops? I have a specific Las Vegas hotel for a specific set of dates that I want to book for September this year. Still 8 months away.

I know that between now and 30 June there will be a hotel website somewhere that will run some promotion. I don't want to have to manually search each day.

I'm thinking I will build it via the Amadeus API if it doesn't already exist.

None that I know of ... Hotels don't like it and will endeavour to stop such.

@trippin_the_rift tried a relatively sophisticated one with Hilton. (Notice the recaptcha these days.)

Checking regularly yourself is the only advice I can give ...

As it doesn't seem to be a thing I pushed ahead with developing my own

I have a Amadeus developer API so I'm working from this API Connect to Amadeus travel APIs | Amadeus for Developers and specifically /shopping/hotel-offers

I've got the 8 digit IDs for the hotel I'm looking for. I can ping it and process the result to my little database.

The prices don't look that exciting but for the purpose it can indicate a price level change if they have released new inventory which I can then search in other engines and actually book.

work in progress.

The API give 2,000 calls for free per month.

If anyone is interested a response looks like this :
