## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. 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

## Google Flights Scraper - Prices, Airlines, Stops, CO2 & Price History

Get **every flight Google Flights shows** for any route and date - as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. One-way or round trip, any cabin class, any number of passengers, flexible dates.

**$1 per 1,000 flights.** No start fee, no per-search fee. Searches without results, invalid airport codes or past dates are **never charged**.

### What you get for every flight

- **Price** (total for all passengers) in any currency, plus Google's **typical price range** for the route and a **low / typical / high** price level
- **Airlines**, **flight numbers**, codeshares, **aircraft type** and **legroom**
- **Departure and arrival** local times, **total duration**, **number of stops** and **layovers** (airport, city, waiting time)
- Every **segment** of connecting flights
- **CO2 emissions** vs. the typical flight on the route
- Optional **route price history** (about the last 60 days)
- A ready-made **Google Flights link** for the search

### Why this scraper

- **Fast** - one search takes about 1-2 seconds, no browser
- **Flexible dates** - search a date and the next N days to find the cheapest day to fly
- **Many routes at once** - every origin x every destination x every date in one run
- **City codes** - NYC, LON, PAR, TYO search all airports of the city
- **Real filters** - cabin class, nonstop / max stops, airlines, adults / children / infants
- **Pay only for flights** you actually receive

### Use cases

- **Fare monitoring & alerts** - schedule daily runs and track price drops on your routes
- **Travel agencies & deal sites** - find the cheapest days and routes to publish
- **Market research** - which airlines fly a route, how often, at what price
- **Corporate travel** - compare costs of business trips across dates
- **Sustainability reports** - CO2 per flight and route

### Input example

```json
{
  "origins": ["NYC"],
  "destinations": ["LHR", "CDG"],
  "departureDates": ["2026-11-12"],
  "alsoSearchNextDays": 6,
  "returnAfterDays": 7,
  "adults": 2,
  "maxStops": "0",
  "sortBy": "price",
  "currency": "USD"
}
```

This runs 14 searches (2 destinations x 7 days), round trips with 2 adults, nonstop only.

**Cheapest flight per day only:** set `sortBy` to `price` and `maxFlightsPerSearch` to `1`.

### Output example

```json
{
  "searchFrom": "JFK", "searchTo": "LHR", "departureDate": "2026-11-12", "tripType": "one_way",
  "price": 295, "currency": "USD", "priceIsTotalForAllPassengers": true, "isBestFlight": true,
  "airlines": ["Virgin Atlantic"], "from": "JFK", "to": "LHR",
  "departure": "2026-11-12T08:00", "arrival": "2026-11-12T20:10", "durationMinutes": 430, "stops": 0,
  "legs": [{"from": "JFK", "to": "LHR", "flightNumber": "VS 26", "airline": "Virgin Atlantic", "aircraft": "Airbus A330-900neo", "legroom": "31 inches", "durationMinutes": 430}],
  "co2Kg": 365, "typicalCo2Kg": 431, "co2DifferencePercent": -15,
  "routeTypicalPriceLow": 225, "routeTypicalPriceHigh": 295, "routePriceLevel": "typical",
  "googleFlightsUrl": "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?tfs=..."
}
```

### FAQ

**Are round-trip prices for both directions?** Yes. For round trips the list shows outbound flights with the total round-trip price, exactly like Google Flights.

**Are prices per person?** No - `price` is the total for all passengers in the search, like on Google Flights.

**How often can I run it?** As often as you like. Schedule it hourly or daily for price tracking.

## MCP server setup

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
