Building a Travel Itinerary Planner with Directus API and AWS Lambda

[khabdrick]

What is your idea?

This application will demonstrate how to access external data in Directus using the Directus API and AWS Lambda. The Travel Itinerary Planner allows users to create and manage travel itineraries by fetching and integrating data from various external sources, such as flight schedules, hotel availability, and local attractions. The main idea is to use AWS lambda to handle all the business logic when it comes to getting all the data from external sources, while Directus will be used to visualize and organise the data.

What are the key takeaways from your post?

• Fetch real-time flight information from an external API.
• Store the fetched data in the Directus flights collection.
• Send email or SMS confirmations to users when a flight or hotel is booked.
• Develop a Lambda function to fetch and store the latest flight information in Directus.
• Implement a Lambda function to fetch and store hotel booking data in Directus.
• Create a Lambda function to fetch and store information on local attractions in Directus.
