Returning Data From Multiple APIs

Submitted by ROYW1000 on Wed, 2006-11-08 02:36 in

Hi

Do you know if your software can pass multiple queries from an API Lookup.

For example a lookup from several Car Hire firms which use different API's and I want to return the data in a Comparison Format sorted price low to high etc.

If your software does not do this do you know any that can and has anyone done this before using Magic Parser etc I would be interested in your thoughts on this and the process to make it work.

Thanks

Roy

Hi Roy,

You can certainly parse multiple feeds or files in one script with Magic Parser - but there would be a lot more support code required to perform the API queries (perhaps in parallel?) and then collate the results. As a starting point, have a look at the thread regarding parsing blogs which covers handling multiple formats in one thread and combining the results. It's not quite what you want to do but may point you in the right direction....
