Gatsby: Get request external website

[lpluispacheco]

Hi, is possible show information of an external website?

If I need show data on my website (build in gatsby) of an external website how can I make this work?

Any documentation about it?

Thanks

Hi @lpluispacheco, what kind of information are you hoping to show, and from what website? Is it a domain you own or a random one (the latter will limit what you can do)?

It would help to qualify this request a bit to know what parameters we're working with. Does the website have an API you can call, or are you trying to scrape the content?

Hi @marcysutton, sorry for details left.

It's a API of Booking: https://developers.booking.com/api/commercial/index.html?version=2.4&page_url=how-to-book

Technically i'll putting the dates, persons but I want to show it directly on my website, is it possible? I was trying to find information about it but I couldn't find nothing.

Thanks for your answer!

@lpluispacheco I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to hit an API, since you can use web technologies on a Gatsby site just like in any React application. A quick search came up with multiple plugins for sourcing content from APIs:

• https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-apiserver/?=api
• https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-custom-api/?=api
• https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-thirdparty/?=api

I'm not familiar with Booking's API though–are you trying to display read-only content or enable the whole booking/purchase flow? The former seems like something you could do on the server-side potentially, but you may be limited to client-side API calls...that is something you'll have to investigate. The plugins listed above may give you some ideas of where to start.

Another option that might be viable is to use Axios to pull in the content from Booking.com on the client-side which may be better suited here because the (presumably) real-time nature of the booking information?
