Google Flights Scraper

Overview

Google Flights Scraper searches Google Flights and stores one dataset item per returned itinerary. It supports one-way, round-trip, and multi-city searches.

Supported searches

• One-way: one origin, one destination, one departure date.
• Round-trip: one outbound leg and one return leg.
• Multi-city: two or more ordered flight legs.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Select oneWay, roundTrip, or multiCity.
3. Enter airport IATA codes, dates, passengers, currency, and language.
4. Use Apify Proxy when Google blocks direct requests; multi-city runs enable it automatically on Apify.
5. Run the Actor and download results from the Dataset tab.

Reliability notes

• Google Flights can return consent, verification, or incomplete pages from shared IPs.
• The Actor retries Google requests with fresh TLS/client sessions before failing.
• Multi-city runs use Apify Proxy automatically on the platform because it improves reliability.
• Prefilled input is designed to complete in well under five minutes.
