FlixBus Trip Scraper

Compare bus routes, schedules, and live fares between any two cities FlixBus serves. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway across Italy, a longer trip through Europe, or tracking price trends for research — this scraper pulls structured trip data so you can analyze it your way.

What It Does

• Resolves city names to FlixBus station IDs
• Fetches all available trips for one day or a full date range
• Returns departure/arrival times, duration, distance, and fare per passenger
• Handles multiple passengers (adults and children)
• Supports multiple currencies and country-specific pricing
• Runs concurrent requests for speed, with built-in rate-limit protection

Example Use Cases

• Monitor price fluctuations on a popular route over time
• Build a personal travel planner with real schedule data
• Collect historical trip data for market research or analysis
• Compare pricing across different departure dates in one run

Input

Field	Description
Departure City	City name (e.g. Genoa)
Arrival City	City name (e.g. Rome)
Start Date	First travel date — defaults to today if left empty
End Date	Last travel date — defaults to today if left empty
Currency	Priceline in your preferred currency
Country	2-letter code for locale-specific pricing
Passengers	Number of adults and/or children

Only the two cities are required. Everything else has sensible defaults.

Output

Each dataset entry is a single trip with clean, structured fields:

• Route (departure city → arrival city)
• Date and departure/arrival times
• Duration and distance
• Price per passenger in your chosen currency
• Passenger count breakdown

The output is ready to feed into dashboards, spreadsheets, or further processing pipelines.

Notes

• Dates follow YYYY-MM-DD format.
• A single date scrapes just that day; a range scrapes every day between start and end (inclusive).
• Concurrency is kept moderate to respect endpoint limits — no need to tweak unless you know what you're doing.
