Where can i find a travel affiliate program that has room rates database to download, xml,txt,etc datafeeds, or any data builder to create the rates and the availability for one specific roomid and checkin checkout or something. Like ian or flexrez or hotelscombined but with a specific day room rate.
Thank you.

Due to the constant flux of room rates & availability, I doubt that any programs have that type of data available to download and store by affiliates. IAN has real-time XML feeds, but you're not allowed to store it. After all, what's the point in storing data that can be obsolete in an hour (or even less)?

Obviously you have to signup with them through their affiliate program. I mean, what's the point in getting their rates unless you're going to be sending bookings to them. And what's the point in sending bookings to them unless you're going to get a commission from it?

You have to signup for XML access separately after you signup as an affiliate. Hmm, I just checked the affiliate admin page and I don't see any links any more to the XML section. Send an e-mail to the affiliate team asking for instructions.
