Ryanair Flights Scraper - Fares and Routes

Find Ryanair's cheapest public one-way fares for a route or discover the lowest-priced destination from an origin airport. The Actor turns Ryanair's live fare-search response into a clean dataset with prices, dates, flight numbers, airport details, and a direct booking URL. It runs through lightweight HTTP requests, needs no airline account, and can export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or an API integration.

What this Actor is for

Ryanair serves hundreds of airports, but comparing flexible dates and many destination options manually is slow. This Actor is designed for travel research workflows that need repeatable structured fare data rather than screenshots or copied search pages.

Common uses include:

• finding the cheapest Ryanair destination from a chosen airport;
• monitoring a specific route over rolling date windows;
• building low-fare alerts in Make, Zapier, n8n, or a custom service;
• comparing departure airports for a planned trip;
• feeding fare observations into a travel dashboard or spreadsheet;
• researching seasonal route and price patterns;
• enriching destination content with current example fares.

The source endpoint returns the cheapest available fare for each matching route in the selected window. It is a fare-discovery dataset, not a full inventory of every seat or fare class on every flight.

Input

Set one or more three-letter departure airport codes. Destination codes are optional: leave them empty to explore the cheapest destination options from each origin, or add one or more codes to narrow the search.

{
  "departureAirports": ["SOF"],
  "arrivalAirports": ["BRS"],
  "daysAheadStart": 1,
  "daysAheadEnd": 30,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "market": "en-gb",
  "maxResultsPerOrigin": 20
}

You can use relative dates for scheduled monitoring or supply exact dateFrom and dateTo values in YYYY-MM-DD format. Relative dates make saved Tasks durable because the search window moves forward automatically each day.

Input fields

Field	Description
departureAirports	One or more three-letter origin airport codes.
arrivalAirports	Optional destination codes. Empty means cheapest-destination discovery.
dateFrom	Optional exact search start date.
dateTo	Optional exact search end date.
daysAheadStart	Relative start when dateFrom is empty.
daysAheadEnd	Relative end when dateTo is empty.
currency	Three-letter display currency such as EUR or GBP.
market	Ryanair language-market code such as en-gb or de-de.
maxResultsPerOrigin	Safety limit for each route-search request.

Output

Each dataset item represents one unique cheapest-fare observation. Core fields include:

• flight_number and Ryanair's source flight key;
• local departure and arrival timestamps;
• travel date;
• current and previous price when available;
• currency code and symbol;
• departure and arrival airport code, name, city, and country;
• airport coordinates and time zone from Ryanair's public airport directory;
• source search window and requested route;
• direct Ryanair booking URL;
• price-update timestamp and scrape timestamp;
• rank_by_price across the final unique result set.

Example item:

{
  "flight_number": "FR4130",
  "departure_airport_code": "SOF",
  "departure_city": "Sofia",
  "arrival_airport_code": "BRS",
  "arrival_city": "Bristol",
  "departure_at_local": "2026-07-18T22:55:00",
  "arrival_at_local": "2026-07-19T00:25:00",
  "price": 14.99,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "rank_by_price": 1,
  "booking_url": "https://www.ryanair.com/gb/en/trip/flights/select?..."
}

Run it on a schedule

Use an Apify Task with relative day settings to create a rolling monitor. A daily Task can look 1-30 days ahead, write each result to the dataset, and trigger a webhook when a route drops below your chosen price. Keep historical datasets if you want to calculate price movement over time.

For multiple origins, use a short bounded list and let each run complete before scheduling the next. The Actor validates airport-code shape, date order, maximum date span, and request count to prevent accidental oversized runs.

Integrations

The default dataset is available through the Apify API and native integrations. Typical workflows are:

1. schedule a daily Task;
2. retrieve dataset items in n8n, Make, Zapier, or Python;
3. filter by destination, date, or maximum price;
4. send an email, Slack message, Telegram alert, or database update;
5. retain observations for route-level trend analysis.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: a small start event plus a charge for each unique fare saved to the default dataset. Duplicate source rows are removed before storage, so repeated entries are not billed twice in one run. Apify compute and proxy usage, if any, follows the platform plan of the account running the Actor.

Reliability and scope

The Actor uses Ryanair's public website APIs with browser-compatible request headers and bounded retries. No browser or residential proxy is required for the normal data path. The default input uses a small live search and relative dates so Apify's automated checks can keep validating non-empty output.

Fares are live observations and can change at any time. Availability, taxes, optional services, passenger-specific pricing, exchange rates, and final checkout conditions may change the amount shown during booking. Always verify a fare on Ryanair before making a purchase decision.

FAQ

Does this book flights?

No. It collects public fare observations and provides a booking URL. Payment and booking remain on Ryanair.

Can I search without a destination?

Yes. Leave arrivalAirports empty to discover the cheapest available route options from each departure airport.

Can I monitor exact dates?

Yes. Set dateFrom and dateTo. For recurring Tasks, relative day settings are usually better because they do not expire.

Does it return every flight in the date range?

No. The public fare-finder response focuses on cheapest route options. This Actor accurately preserves that scope instead of presenting the result as complete schedule inventory.

Why might a search return no rows?

The airport may not be served by Ryanair, the route may not operate in the selected window, or the supplied currency/market combination may be unavailable. Expand the window or verify the airport codes.

Can I export to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Open the run dataset and choose JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or the API endpoint.

Is an API key required?

No airline API key or account is required.

How do I report an issue?

Open an issue on the Actor page with the input that failed and the run ID. If the Actor saved you time, a Store review helps other users evaluate it and helps prioritize ongoing maintenance.
