✈️ Skyscanner Flight Scraper API — Compare Cheap Flights from 7 Sources in One Call

Find the cheapest flights for any route and date by querying seven independent flight databases in a single run and merging them into one deduplicated, price-compared feed. Pulls Google Flights, Kiwi.com, a cached price database, Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizz Air and Norwegian — no airline OAuth, no GDS contract, no browser rendering. Pure HTTP, exportable as JSON / CSV / Excel / XML.

Built for travel aggregators, fare-alert products, OTA startups, corporate-travel teams and data analysts who need accurate multi-source flight price comparison at scale.

🛡️ Proxy Strategy

The actor sends the first request directly (no proxy). If a source rejects or blocks the request it escalates to a datacenter proxy, and if that is still blocked it switches to a residential proxy (retrying up to 3×) and sticks with residential for the rest of the run. All proxy switches are logged.

💳 Pricing

This actor uses the pay-per-event model. The primary event is flight-result — you are billed per merged flight record saved to the dataset. Searches that find nothing cost nothing beyond the standard run start.

❓ FAQ

Why do Ryanair / EasyJet / Wizz Air / Norwegian sometimes return 0? They are European low-cost carriers. Routes they do not operate (e.g. LAX→JFK) legitimately return no flights — Google Flights, Kiwi and Cached Prices still cover those routes.

Do I need a proxy? No. The actor runs direct by default and only uses proxies if a source blocks it.

Can I search many routes at once? Yes — add multiple URLs/route tokens in startUrls.
