Hotel Search Application

This project is a Hotel Search Application built using React and TypeScript. It allows users to search for hotels based on city, check-in and check-out dates, number of adults and children, and room type. The application fetches hotel data from an external API using Axios and displays the results in a responsive and user-friendly way.

Features

• Search hotels by city, date range, number of adults, children, and room type
• Display hotel search results with names, ratings, review counts, and vendor information
• Retry logic for API requests in case of rate limiting (status code 429)
• Responsive design for mobile and desktop devices

Technologies Used

• React
• TypeScript
• Axios for API requests
• CSS for responsive design

API Configuration

The application uses the Makcorps API to fetch hotel data. The API key is configured in the fetchHotels function located in src/api/hotelService.ts.

Handling API Rate Limiting

If the API request limit is exceeded (status code 429), the application will retry the request up to three times with a delay between each attempt.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter the error:

Error fetching hotels: Request failed with status code 429

This means the API rate limit has been exceeded. The application will automatically retry, but if the problem persists, consider:

• Waiting for some time before trying again.
• Reducing the frequency of your search requests.
