Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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. ### 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 | | `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` | | `fetchAllLegs` | Multi-city only: `true` to fetch the complete itinerary across all flight legs, `false` to only fetch the first leg. | `false` | | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify Proxy settings. Multi-city runs on Apify automatically use proxy because it improves reliability. | `{"useApifyProxy": false}` | ### Usage examples #### One-way input ```json { "operation": "oneWay", "oneWay": { "origin": "JFK", "dest": "LHR", "date": "", "adults": 1, "seatClass": "economy", "stops": 0, "sort": "best", "currency": "USD", "language": "en-US" }, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` #### Round-trip input ```json { "operation": "roundTrip", "roundTrip": { "origin": "JFK", "dest": "LHR", "date": "", "returnDate": "", "adults": 1, "seatClass": "economy", "currency": "USD", "language": "en-US" }, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` #### Multi-city input ```json { "operation": "multiCity", "multiCity": { "legs": "[{\"origin\":\"JFK\",\"dest\":\"LHR\",\"date\":\"2026-06-01\"},{\"origin\":\"LHR\",\"dest\":\"CDG\",\"date\":\"2026-06-05\"}]", "adults": 1, "seatClass": "economy", "stops": 0, "sort": "best", "currency": "USD", "language": "en-US", "fetchAllLegs": false }, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` ### Output Results are written to the default dataset. The key-value store record `OUTPUT` contains a compact run summary. ```json { "price": 434, "airlines": ["Icelandair"], "departure": "2026-06-01T20:30", "arrival": "2026-06-02T11:55", "stops": 1, "duration_min": 545, "segments": [ { "from": "JFK", "from_name": "John F. Kennedy International Airport", "to": "KEF", "to_name": "Keflavik International Airport", "departure": "2026-06-01T20:30", "arrival": "2026-06-02T06:20", "duration_min": 350, "plane": "Airbus A321neo" } ] } ``` ### 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. ### Legal note This Actor collects publicly available flight-search results. Make sure your use case complies with applicable laws, regulations, and website terms. # Actor input Schema ## `operation` (type: `string`): Choose which search flow to run. ## `oneWay` (type: `object`): Search one-way flights for a single leg (origin → destination) on a specific date. ## `roundTrip` (type: `object`): Search round-trip flights with a departure date and a return date. ## `multiCity` (type: `object`): Search multi-city itineraries across two or more legs. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxies to be used. ## Actor input object example ```json { "operation": "oneWay", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): One dataset item per returned itinerary. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Short summary stored in the OUTPUT record of the default key-value store. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
