It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## โœˆ๏ธ Faremakers Flights Scraper โ€” Pakistan Fares in PKR Scrape flight fares from **Faremakers.com**, one of Pakistan's largest online travel agencies, for any number of origin and destination airports in a single run.

Add several origins and several destinations. Every pair is searched separately and keeps its own `maxItems` limit. **Which currency are prices in?** Faremakers shows Pakistani rupees (PKR). `price` is the total for all passengers. **How far ahead can I search?** Up to about 11 months. Later dates return no results and a warning in the log. **Why do I get fewer items than `maxItems`?** `maxItems` is a limit, not a target. A route can have fewer offers, or your filters (stops, airlines) can reduce them. **What are ground transfers?** Some airlines sell a bus leg, for example Abu Dhabi to Dubai, as a flight number. They are hidden by default so results are real flights; set `includeGroundTransfers` to keep them. **Does it need a proxy?** Not usually. If runs are blocked from your region, enable an Apify proxy in the proxy settings. **How fresh is the data?** Fares are fetched live on every run. ### ๐Ÿ”— Want More Data?
