VRBO Calendar Scraper

Uses mechanize to scrape a VRBO calendar and return a list of available dates. For instance, the gem can scrape this calendar: http://www.vrbo.com/293021/calendar

Installation

$ gem install vrbo

Usage

Specify the VRBO calendar ID in an initializer:

# config/initializers/vrbo.rb
VRBO.configure do |config|
  config.calendar_id = 293021
end

Lookup available dates:

calendar = VRBO::Calendar.new
calendar.available_dates #=> ["2015-11-03", "2015-11-04", "2015-11-05", ...]

Check availability:

calendar.available?(Date.today, Date.today + 5) #=> true/false

Multiple Calendars

In the case of multiple calendars it makes more sense to skip the initializer part and pass the the calendar ID on initialization:

VRBO::Calendar.new 293021
