Could you build this?
Partial The alert and user interface logic is basic, but scraping live fare data across multiple airlines without getting blocked or paying for costly GDS APIs is difficult to maintain.
What it would actually take: A production version requires integrating with airline GDS APIs (Amadeus, Sabre) or maintaining resilient headless browser scrapers with residential proxy networks to avoid bot detection across 7 distinct airline websites. The architecture involves scheduled worker queues (Celery/BullMQ), proxy rotation services, and robust fare normalization parsers.
