Technical Details:

Language: Python
Libraries: requests, os, datetime, twilio, smtplib, collections
Concepts: API Integration, SMS Notifications, Email Notifications, Data Handling
Features: Fetches flight data from the Kiwi.com API based on specified search criteria, Retrieves destination data from a Google Sheet using the Sheety API, Filters flight data to find deals below specified price thresholds, Sends SMS notifications via Twilio with flight details when cheap deals are found, Sends email notifications with flight details and a booking link, Uses environment variables to securely store API keys and other sensitive information, Structures the code into separate modules for data management (data_manager.py), flight search (flight_search.py), flight data processing (flight_data.py), notifications (notification_manager.py), and main logic (main.py), Implements object-oriented design principles with classes like DataManager, FlightData, FlightSearch, and NotificationManager

Key Learnings:

This project provided in-depth practice in working with multiple external APIs, handling real-time data (flight prices and availability), sending notifications via SMS and email, using environment variables, and structuring a complex application using OOP principles. It also involved working with Google Sheets as a simple data store and implementing a basic form of web scraping to get IATA codes (although this was later replaced by using the Kiwi API).
