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 and dates in the selected search section.
4. Adjust passengers, cabin, filters, sorting, currency, and language in Global Settings.
5. Run the Actor and download results from the Dataset tab.

Configuration

Field	Description	Default
operation	Search mode: oneWay, roundTrip, or multiCity.	oneWay
origin, dest	Three-letter IATA airport codes, for example JFK and LHR.	JFK, LHR
date, returnDate	Travel dates in YYYY-MM-DD format. Leave empty to use valid future dates automatically.	Empty
Global Settings	Shared passengers, cabin, filters, sorting, currency, and language used by all search modes.	Economy, USD, en-US
seatClass	economy, premium-economy, business, or first.	economy
stops	0 any stops, 1 nonstop, 2 max one stop.	0
sort	best, price, or duration.	best
currency, language	Google Flights currency and locale, for example USD and en-US.	USD, en-US

Proxy is handled automatically. The Actor starts without a proxy and retries with an internal Apify proxy session if Google blocks or limits the direct request.

Reliability notes

• Google Flights can return consent, verification, or incomplete pages from shared IPs.
• When that happens, the Actor retries automatically with a fresh Apify proxy session.

Legal note
