## What's an Apify Actor?
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
Search **Google Flights** for any route and get the results as clean, structured data — prices, airlines, departure and arrival times, flight duration, number of stops, layovers, aircraft, and estimated CO₂ emissions.
Perfect for price monitoring, travel dashboards, fare alerts, market research, or feeding flight data into your own app or spreadsheet.
---
### What you can do
- 🔎 Search **one-way** and **round-trip** flights for any route and date
- 💸 Get **live prices** in the currency of your choice
- 🛫 See **airlines, flight numbers, schedules, duration and stops**
- 🧳 Filter by **cabin class** (economy, premium economy, business, first)
- 🚏 Filter by **number of stops** (nonstop, 1 stop, 2 stops, or any)
- 👨👩👧 Search for **multiple passengers** (adults, children, infants)
- 🌍 Choose your **currency, language and country**
---
### Input
You only need three things to get started: **where from**, **where to**, and **when**.
| Field | Description | Example |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| **From (origin)** | Departure airport code | `JFK` |
| **To (destination)** | Arrival airport code | `LAX` |
| **Departure date** | Outbound date (`YYYY-MM-DD`) | `2026-07-30` |
| **Return date** | Return date — leave empty for one-way | `2026-08-06` |
| **Adults / Children / Infants** | Number of passengers | `1` |
| **Cabin class** | Economy, Premium economy, Business, First | `Economy` |
| **Stops** | Any, Nonstop, 1 stop or fewer, 2 stops or fewer | `Any` |
| **Currency** | Currency for prices | `USD` |
| **Language / Country** | Locale for results | `en` / `us` |
| **Maximum results** | Limit how many flights to save | `50` |
| **Include vendor booking links** | Fetch airline/OTA booking URLs (extra API call per flight) | `false` |
| **Include price calendar** | Embed flexible-date prices in each flight record | `false` |
| **Calendar start / end date** | Custom window for the price calendar | optional |
> 💡 **Tip:** Airports are entered as their 3-letter codes (for example `JFK`, `LHR`, `DXB`, `SIN`). You can also paste a full Google Flights link into the **Google Flights link** field and the actor will read the route and dates from it automatically.
#### Example input
```json
{
"origin": "JFK",
"destination": "LHR",
"departureDate": "2026-07-30",
"returnDate": "2026-08-06",
"adults": 1,
"cabinClass": "economy",
"stops": "nonstop",
"currency": "USD"
}
````
***
### Output
Each result is one flight option. When **Include price calendar** is enabled, every flight record also includes a `priceCalendar` array with flexible-date prices for the same route.
```json
{
"price": 285,
"currency": "USD",
"airlines": ["British Airways"],
"primaryAirlineName": "British Airways",
"resultTier": "best",
"departureAirport": "JFK",
"departureTime": "07:50",
"departureDate": "2026-07-30",
"arrivalAirport": "LHR",
"arrivalTime": "19:45",
"arrivalDate": "2026-07-30",
"duration": "6h 55m",
"stops": 0,
"co2EmissionsGrams": 424000,
"co2EmissionsTypicalGrams": 410000,
"co2EmissionsDeltaPercent": -3,
"emissionsTag": "lower",
"bookingLink": "https://www.google.com/travel/flights/booking?tfs=...",
"searchLink": "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=...",
"departureToken": "W1siQkEiLCIyMDI2...",
"travelAdvisories": [{ "title": "Travel restricted", "message": "..." }],
"baggagePolicyLinks": [{ "airlineCode": "BA", "url": "https://..." }],
"priceCalendar": [
{
"departureDate": "2026-08-01",
"returnDate": null,
"price": 209,
"currency": "USD",
"isLowPrice": true
}
],
"segments": [
{
"flightNumber": "BA 178",
"airlineCode": "BA",
"extensions": ["Average legroom (31 in)", "Wi-Fi"],
"amenities": { "wifi": true, "power": true }
}
],
"layovers": [{ "airport": "ORD", "changeOfAirport": true, "duration": "2h 10m" }]
}
```
When **Include vendor booking links** is enabled, records also include `bookingOptions` (vendor fares with `bookingLink`, `googleClickLink`, `fareName`, `fareCode`) and `vendorBookingLink`.
For flights with stops, the `segments` array lists each leg of the journey and `layovers` describes each connection (airport, city and waiting time).
You can export the results as **JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML** from the **Storage** tab, or pull them through the Apify API.
***
### Notes
- For **round-trip** searches, results show the available outbound flights together with the lowest total round-trip price — exactly as Google Flights presents them.
- Prices are provided by Google and can change at any time. Always confirm the final price with the airline or booking site before purchasing.
- This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
***
### FAQ
**Which airports can I search?**
Any airport or metro area supported by Google Flights. Use the standard 3-letter airport code.
**Can I monitor prices automatically?**
Yes. Use Apify **Schedules** to run the actor on a recurring basis and combine it with integrations (email, Slack, webhooks) to get alerts when prices change.
**Do I need to configure anything else?**
No. Just enter your route and dates and run it.
