Cron Setup for Price Alerts

Add to OpenClaw cron for automatic price monitoring:

When prices drop below target, the script outputs alert text. Configure your notification channel in the cron task.

⚠️ Important: Pricing Disclaimer

Amadeus API prices are NOT retail prices. The API returns negotiated, net, or wholesale rates — not the public prices you see on Booking.com, Expedia, or hotel websites.

Key differences:

• Net vs Retail: API returns "net rates" (raw cost), not marked-up retail prices
• B2B Pricing: Designed for travel agencies/developers to add their own markup
• Negotiated Rates: May include corporate or consortia rates unavailable to consumers
• Tax Breakdown: Prices often show base + taxes separately

Use these prices for comparison and tracking trends, not as exact retail quotes. Actual booking prices on consumer sites will differ.

Limitations & Notes

• Test environment: Limited/cached data, not real-time. Good for development.
• Production: Real prices but requires "Move to Production" in Amadeus dashboard.
• No direct booking: API returns offer details; actual booking requires payment handling (PCI compliance).
• Rate limits: 10 TPS (test), 40 TPS (production). Scripts include backoff.
• Data freshness: Prices change frequently. Always re-check before booking elsewhere.
• Not retail prices: See pricing disclaimer above.
