Ask HN: How did Hipmunk integrate AirBnB rentals?

It would seem that they know each other:

Yep. YC Mafia :) Airbnb has a rudimentary (MVP) referral api that we've got access to.

Thanks! Saw you speak at the Under30CEO-NYC meetup a few days ago... very inspiring!

Huzzah! Thank you.

Same way other (orbitz, kayak etc) do it. There is very little money in airline ticket sale cuts. A much bigger market and ultimately how these companies make a majority of their money is thru hotels.

They are both YC companies so I am pretty sure they know each other.
