Hi guys, Drupal noob here who has been dropped in at the deep end and tasked with creating a booking system that connects with an external API.
Basically I could do with a point in the right direction with regards to tackling the project.

The system will basically have a multistep booking system which will integrate with external API to check flight availability.

What is the best way to go about this? I'm thinking completely custom module development?

Regards,

David

Hi David,
A custom module would be a great way to provide the transport layer between Drupal and the external API, pushing and pulling data as necessary-extending the functionality of the booking system into Drupal sites where the module has been installed. It's always good to see if there are existing modules that might provide for your needs or that might provide a model for what you need. There is no question that you will find other modules and potentially features that will support functionality you are building on the site.

IMHO you're on the right track.
