Compare expenses made with lodging against official prices of rooms #26
Comments

Holidays and events should be considered as they usually significantly the price of rooms. |
This should be considered as an initial approach to okfn-brasil#26. Of course one may argue that there isn't any official data being scraped and considered yet, but this mean/std approach may prove to be useful for further analysis, with or without external data.

Does anybody have an idea how to proceed with this scraping? I mean, in addition to what is already being done by @Lrcezimbra at #100. I had a look into booking.com but couldn't find any suitable API. I also tried decolar.com (they do have a public and free API [1]), but their terms of usage doesn't seem to allow the kind of data scraping we need (I don't even know why I thought it would 😄). |

This version uses the recently added reimbursements dataset okfn-brasil#140.

I don't believe there are historical databases for pricing. What could be done is to identify hotels on the database and start watching booking/expedia/... and scrape data, building Serenata's own dataset for that. Keep in mind that hotel pricing is somewhat complex, and database can become large. |

From 2012 to now, housing pricing almost not changed.

Filtering quota's dataset by records with value 'Lodging, except for congressperson from Distrito Federal' in the column
subquota_descriptionwill return many expenses made with hotels. We could match the value in the receipt against publicly available (through Booking.com, for instance) range of prices.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
