Extract real-time flight prices, airlines, schedules, and routes from Google Flights at scale. Search one-way, round-trip, or complex multi-city itineraries with full control over passengers, filters, currency, and locale — and get clean, structured JSON every time.

Why This Scraper?

• Full trip-type coverage — One-way, round-trip, and multi-city searches with 2+ legs all in a single actor
• Multi-airport support — Search across several origin or destination airports at once (e.g. CDG,ORY or JFK,LGA,EWR)
• Rich flight details — Price, airline, flight number, aircraft type, departure and arrival times, layovers, total duration, and stop count for every leg
• Powerful filters — Cap maximum price, restrict to specific airlines, limit stops (nonstop only, up to 1 stop, up to 2), and hide basic economy fares
• 29 languages × 39 countries × 20 currencies — Pull results the way your target traveller sees them
• Price insights included — First-page results tell you whether the current price is low, typical, or high versus the historical average, plus the lowest price available
• Airport directory — Every referenced airport comes back with full name, city, and country — no extra lookups needed
• Non-technical input — Friendly labels and dropdowns for languages, countries, currencies, and stop limits; no need to remember Google's internal codes

Tips for Best Results

• Use future dates within the next 12 months — Google Flights rarely returns results for dates more than a year out
• Match currency and country to your use case — a search with country="uk" and currency="GBP" shows fares and airlines as a UK traveller would see them, which can differ significantly from the US view
• Leverage multi-airport search — JFK,LGA,EWR as a single origin often surfaces cheaper or more convenient options than any single airport alone
• Start with maxStops="0" for premium routes — nonstop filters cut noise on busy business routes and reveal only the most attractive fares
• Leave maxPages at 1 — Google returns every matching flight in a single response; setting it higher just re-runs the same query
• Combine airlines with excludeBasicEconomy — perfect for corporate travel auditing or loyalty-program-aware fare monitoring

Pricing

$0.01 per 1,000 results — one of the lowest prices on Apify for live flight data.

One page typically contains 10–60 flight options across the best_flights and other_flights arrays, so a single page is usually a complete search for a given route and date. Platform fees (compute, proxy, storage) depend on your Apify plan.

When fetchBookingOptions=true is enabled on a one-way search, each resolved booking link is billed separately — a typical search produces 80–120 options.

Integrations

Export results in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. Connect to 1,500+ apps via:

• Zapier / Make / n8n — Workflow automation
• Google Sheets — Direct spreadsheet export
• Slack / Email — Notifications on new results
• Webhooks — Custom API integrations
• Apify API — Full programmatic access to runs and datasets
