GypsyFeet London Hack

Inspiration

Demonstrate the power of Sabre APIs to change business models.

How it works

Tour operators use a simple web interface to create trip "apps". Consumers download the GypsyFeet Travel Marketplace app to find interesting trips & activities. Consumers can easily book these trips using the marketplace app.

Challenges I ran into

Completing the entire set of end-to-end scenarios in the time given was challenging for a 3 person team.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

1. Building a iOS app in 24 hours that shows the power of the marketplace idea.
2. Building out the web services required that integrate with Sabre & GetYourGuide.
3. Building out the web app for the creation flow.

What I learned

1. Learnt various new & powerful APIs - Sabre, GetYourGuide GIATA etc.

What's next for GypsyFeet

1. Expose APIs for GDS systems to pull trip information from the tour database that GypsyFeet will have.
2. Fare notification & alerts once you have expressed interest in a trip.
3. Relevant advertisements once you have expressed interest in a trip.
4. Ability to share photos, review and rate trips once you've completed a trip.
