Google Flights Scraper

Get flight prices and schedules from Google Flights for any route and date — fast and cheap. The scraper talks to Google Flights over plain HTTP (no browser), so a search takes about a second and hundreds of routes finish in a couple of minutes.

What you get

For every search (route + date):

• Flights — price, airlines, flight numbers, departure and arrival times, total duration, number of stops
• Layovers — airport, city, duration, airport change flag
• Every segment — aircraft, legroom, Wi‑Fi / power / video, codeshares, overnight flag, CO₂ emissions
• Google's verdict — which flights Google marks as "best", and whether today's price is low, typical or high for this route
• Price insights — typical price range and about 60 days of price history (one extra free record per search)
• Round trips — outbound flights with "round trip from" prices, and optionally the matching return flights with the final price
• A direct link to the search on Google Flights

Typical uses

• Price monitoring for routes you sell or fly often — schedule the Actor and compare runs
• Finding the cheapest day: set Scan departure dates until and get prices for every date in the range
• Bulk fare research across hundreds of city pairs with Bulk routes
• Feeding travel apps, deal alerts, newsletters and AI agents with fresh fares

Times are local to each airport. Prices are for all passengers of the search, in the currency you choose.

With Price insights on, each search also adds a record with "type": "priceInsights": lowestPrice, typicalPriceLow, typicalPriceHigh, priceLevel and priceHistory ([{ "date": "2026-10-08", "price": 293 }, ...]).

Good to know

• Google shows its best flights and the cheapest ones first; a standard search returns that first screen (usually 10–30 flights, always including the lowest price). Use searchDepth: "full" when you need the long tail.
• totalFlightsOnGoogle tells you how many flights Google has for the search in total.
• For round trips the outbound price is Google's "round trip from" price. Set returnFlightsFor to get exact prices for specific return flights.
• If a route has no flights on a date, the search simply returns nothing and is not charged.
• No proxy is needed in most cases. If Google starts limiting requests, the Actor switches to Apify Proxy by itself.

Pricing

You pay per flight saved to the dataset. Price-insight records, empty searches and failed requests are free.
