Ryanair API — Cheap Flight Fares & Prices | $0.99/1k

What does Ryanair Flight Fares do?

Ryanair Flight Fares extracts cheap flight prices from Ryanair and delivers them as clean, structured JSON, CSV or Excel. It works as a Ryanair API alternative: give it a departure airport (STN) or a route (DUB-STN) and a date window, and get the cheapest one-way fare for every destination back in seconds, without a browser, without residential proxies and without writing a scraper yourself.

Typical use cases:

• Run a travel-deal site or newsletter that needs today's cheapest fares out of a set of airports.
• Monitor one route over time and alert when the price drops below a threshold.
• Research where an airport can be reached from cheaply this month, for route planning or content.

It does not log in, read paywalled content or collect private user data. It reads only the airline's publicly available fare finder.

Why use Ryanair Flight Fares?

• Fast and cheap. Pure HTTP extraction (no headless browser), so runs finish in seconds and cost fractions of a cent per fare. The default run returns 20 fares in about 9 seconds.
• Honest results. Every row carries a status (ok, not_found, error), so you (or an AI agent calling this Actor) can tell "no fares in that window" apart from "the site could not be read". You are only billed for ok rows.
• Runs anywhere Apify runs. Schedule it, call it from the API, chain it with other Actors, or receive results via integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, Zapier, Make).
• Every row is bookable. The url of each row is the airline's own booking page for exactly that flight and date, so a result goes straight into a deal post or an alert.

How to scrape Ryanair with Ryanair Flight Fares

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and click Try for free.
2. Type one or more departure airports into Airports or routes as IATA codes (STN, DUB-STN), or type one into Search query.
3. Optionally set Earliest/Latest departure date, a Market (sets the booking link's language, e.g. .com/gb/en/...) and a Maximum fare.
4. Set Maximum results (start with the default 20 to see the output) and click Start. The run takes about 10 seconds for the default input.
5. Open the Output tab or Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

To automate it, use the API tab (Node.js, Python, curl examples) or add a Schedule.

How much does it cost to scrape Ryanair?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.005 per run
Result (status: ok row)	$0.00099 per fare

Example: 1,000 fares cost about $1.00 ($0.005 to start plus 1,000 x $0.00099). Rows with status not_found or error are never billed. Platform compute is included, so the start fee and the price per result are the whole price list. The free Apify plan's $5 of monthly credit covers about 5,000 fares in a single run. You can cap spending per run with Maximum results and in the run's Max total charge option.

Input

See the Input tab for the full schema. The main options:

Field	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array of strings	["STN"]	Departure airports (STN), routes (STN-ALC) or ready-made fare-finder URLs
query	string	-	One airport or route, used instead of the list above
dateFrom	string	a week from today	Earliest outbound departure date, YYYY-MM-DD
dateTo	string	30 days after dateFrom	Latest outbound departure date, YYYY-MM-DD
market	string	en-gb	Booking-link locale, e.g. en-gb for a .com/gb/en/... link. Does not change currency — that follows the departure airport's own country.
maxPrice	integer	-	Only return fares at or below this amount, in whatever currency the departure airport's fares are quoted in
maxItems	integer	20	Stop after this many rows
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy off	Optional; datacenter proxy is enough if needed

Example input:

{
    "startUrls": ["STN", "DUB-STN"],
    "dateFrom": "2026-11-10",
    "dateTo": "2026-12-10",

Tips

• Keep maxItems small while testing, then raise it.
• Pass several airports in one run instead of many single-airport runs; you pay the start fee once.
• A wider date window finds more destinations, because the fare finder returns the cheapest date per destination inside the window.
• Set market to match the booking-link language you want (e.g. en-ie for .com/ie/en/... links); currency will not change with it.
• Mixing departure airports from different countries in one run (e.g. STN and DUB) mixes currencies in the output — check currency per row, and note that a single maxPrice is applied in each departure airport's own currency, not converted.
• If you see error rows mentioning blocking, enable Apify Proxy (datacenter) in Proxy configuration.

Limitations

• One airline. This Actor reads Ryanair's own fare finder, so it does not compare Ryanair against other carriers.
• market does not set the currency. Verified: the same route returns the identical price and currency under every market value. Ryanair quotes each fare in the currency of the departure airport's own country (Dublin is always EUR, Stansted is always GBP) regardless of market; market only changes the language/locale of the booking url.
• One-way fares only, and one row per destination: the cheapest date inside your window, not every flight on every date. Every destination Ryanair serves from the airport comes back in one request (for example about 150 from Stansted and 115 from Dublin).
• Fares are what the airline advertises at the time of the run, excluding bags, seats and other extras, and they change constantly. Re-run before acting on a price.
• Results reflect the public fare finder at the time of the run; Ryanair may change its API (it has moved from v3 to v4 before), in which case rows come back as error and the Actor is updated quickly (report it in the Issues tab).

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Ryanair?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the output. Read the legal notice below and Ryanair's terms of service, and do not collect personal data without a legitimate reason.

Can I use this Actor from an AI agent or MCP client?

Yes. Every row is self-describing (status + error), inputs are plain strings, and results can be fetched via the dataset API or the Apify MCP server.

Why did I get fewer rows than maxItems?

The airport serves fewer destinations in that date window, your maxPrice excluded the rest, or the run hit your Max total charge limit. Check the run log for "Stopping gracefully".

Can I search a specific route?

Yes. Write it as two IATA codes, DUB-STN, either in the list or in the query. You then get the cheapest date for that route inside your window.

What if a field is missing?

Optional fields such as previousPrice are omitted when Ryanair does not publish them. If a field that should always be present is missing, open an issue in the Issues tab with the run ID.
