High-frequency flight fare checker with multiple notification streams

CapFare

Capfare is an application that will generate text message and email alerts when an airline fare for a flight on Kayak hits or dips below a minimum price by scraping data from kayak using nokogiri. Data will be scraped every 10 minutes to allow for a far more realtime price alert model than the one currently supplied on Kayak.
