Flymate - Telegram Bot for Flight Monitoring

About the Project

Flymate is a Telegram bot for tracking flight prices based on routes, dates, and user preferences. It manages subscriptions, monitors offers continuously, and sends relevant alerts in real time.

Key Features

• Automatic Price Monitoring: The bot continuously checks flight prices for active subscriptions using asynchronous requests for high throughput.
• Smart Notifications: Users receive immediate Telegram alerts when tickets match the route, date, and pricing conditions they set.
• Subscription Management: Travel searches can be created, updated, and removed without leaving the chat flow.
• Search History: Historical results are stored to support price analysis and better buying decisions.
• Caching and Task Queues: Redis and Celery were used to handle caching and background jobs efficiently under load.
• Scalable Architecture: AsyncIO and aiohttp made it possible to process thousands of requests concurrently.
