Hotel-search-API

How to run

Installing Packages

1. First step is make sure you have proper version of python
   
   Check your python version:
   

python --version

2. Clone the repository to your local Machine
   
   Cloning Repository

git clone https://github.com/FAHADPN/Hotel-search-API.git

3. Now install all the packages using following command:
   

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Now you make migrations and also migrate:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

5. Now that you have successfully migrated now you are ready to localhost the api. Use following command to run server:

python manage.py runserver

6. Now the API will be running in the port 8000:

'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/hotel_url/'

'http://localhost:8000/api/hotel_url/'

7. The example json format of API request:

data = {
    'destination': 'New York',           # Replace with your destination
    'check_in_date': '2023-09-15',       # Replace with your check-in date
    'check_out_date': '2023-09-20',      # Replace with your check-out date
}

8. You can check if the API is properly working by using the following python code

import requests
import json

# Replace with your API endpoint URL
api_url = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/hotel_url/'

# Define the input data as a dictionary
data = {
    'destination': 'New York',           # Replace with your destination
    'check_in_date': '2023-09-15',       # Replace with your check-in date
    'check_out_date': '2023-09-20',      # Replace with your check-out date
}

# Make a POST request to the API
response = requests.post(api_url, data=json.dumps(data), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

# Check the response
if response.status_code == 200:
    result = response.json()
    kayak_url = result.get('url')
    print(f'Generated Kayak URL: {kayak_url}')
else:
    print(f'Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}')
