Emirates & flydubai Skywards Miles Scraper

Bulk-calculate Skywards earn miles across Emirates (EK) and flydubai (FZ) for any route, cabin, and tier — thousands of routes in one run, straight to a clean spreadsheet.

Feed it a list of airports (or exact route pairs), pick your airlines, cabins, and Skywards tiers, and get back every combination priced out: Skywards Miles and Tier Miles for each fare bucket. No login, no manual clicking through the Miles Calculator one route at a time.

Why use this

The official Miles Calculator prices one airline, one route, one cabin, one tier at a time through a web form. Pricing a network by hand is days of clicking. This actor:

• ✅ Fans out automatically across every airline × origin × destination × cabin × tier you give it.
• ✅ Covers Emirates and flydubai in one run, with the correct fare buckets for each.
• ✅ Returns clean, flat rows ready for CSV / Excel / Google Sheets / a database.
• ✅ Streams results live — rows appear as they're scraped, so big jobs show progress immediately.
• ✅ Scales to hundreds of thousands of rows (the tools this is based on processed 500k+).

What you get

One row per airline × route × cabin × tier × fare. Export to CSV, JSON, or Excel, or pull via API.

How it works

1. Builds every airline × route × cabin × tier combination from your input (or your explicit route pairs), skipping cabins an airline doesn't offer (e.g. flydubai First).
2. Calls the public Miles Calculator API once per combination, in parallel, with the right airline code.
3. Expands each response into fare rows using each airline's own fare buckets (Emirates: FlexPlus/Flex/Saver/Special, First = FlexPlus+Flex; flydubai Economy: Lite/Value/Flex; flydubai Business: Business).
4. Normalizes the miles and streams each row to your dataset live.

Input

{
    "milesType": "earn",
    "airlines": ["Emirates", "flydubai"],
    "routeInputMethod": "cross",
    "crossOrigins": ["DXB"],
    "crossDestinations": ["LHR", "JFK", "KTM"],
    "cabinClasses": ["Economy", "Business", "First"],
    "tiers": ["Blue", "Gold"],
    "journeyType": "One Way",
    "notes": "batch-6"
}

Field	Type	Required	Default	What it does
milesType	string	yes	earn	earn is the only option today. spend / upgrade are shown in the dropdown but coming soon — picking one stops the run with a note.
airlines	string[]	yes	both	Emirates, flydubai, or both. flydubai only prices Economy/Business.
routeInputMethod	string	yes	cross	Which route option you're using: cross (Option 1), network (Option 2), or pairs (Option 3) — see below.
cabinClasses	string[]	yes	all 4	Cabins to price (unsupported ones are skipped per airline).
tiers	string[]	yes	all 4	Skywards tiers to price.
journeyType	string	no	One Way	One Way or Round Trip.
notes	string	no	—	Free text copied into a Notes column on every row — tag/label your run.
maxConcurrency	int	no	10	Parallel API calls (1–50).
maxRequestRetries	int	no	3	Retries before a request is logged as failed.

Routes: pick ONE option, fill in only its field(s)

All three options live in the Routes section. routeInputMethod decides which field(s) the actor reads.

Option	routeInputMethod	What it prices	Its field(s)
Option 1 — Cross (default)	cross	Every origin paired with every destination	crossOrigins and crossDestinations (free text)
Option 2 — Origin → all	network	Every airport the airline serves, from your origin(s)	networkOrigins (dropdown, multi-select, default DXB)
Option 3 — Route pairs	pairs	Exactly the FROM-TO routes you list	routePairs (free text, e.g. "DXB-LHR")

Option 2 — one airline, all its routes

Pick a single airline, choose Option 2, and set the origin:

{ "airlines": ["flydubai"], "routeInputMethod": "network", "networkOrigins": ["DXB"], "cabinClasses": ["Economy", "Business"], "tiers": ["Blue", "Gold", "Silver", "Platinum"] }

That prices every flydubai route from DXB (146 destinations). Emirates works the same way (144 airports). You can select several origins — each is priced against the whole network, so 3 origins ≈ 3× the calls (the run warns you). Tip: these runs are large, so narrow with cabins/tiers to keep cost down.

FAQ

What's the difference between Emirates and flydubai here? Both earn Emirates Skywards miles. Emirates (EK) has 4 cabins and FlexPlus/Flex/Saver/Special fares; flydubai (FZ) has Economy (Lite/Value/Flex) and Business only. The actor handles each airline's fare structure automatically and tags every row with the Airline.

Which miles are these — earning or redeeming? Earning. Skywards Miles are redeemable miles you earn; Tier Miles count toward Silver/Gold/Platinum status. Spend (redemption) and cabin-upgrade miles are coming soon — they're listed under milesType in the input so you can see what's next.

Why do Emirates First-class rows only show FlexPlus and Flex? First doesn't sell Saver/Special buckets, so only those two are returned — matching the calculator.

I selected First but got no flydubai rows for it. flydubai doesn't offer Premium Economy or First — those cabins are simply skipped for flydubai. Emirates rows still include them.

Some combos came back blank. Why? Neither airline flies (or partner-prices) every airport pair. Blank rows mean the combo was checked and returned no miles — the actor keeps them so you can see it was checked (the Fare/miles columns are empty).

What's the Notes column? Whatever you type in the optional Notes input is copied onto every row — handy for tagging a batch, client, or date. Leave it blank and the column is empty.

What's Scraped At? An ISO 8601 UTC timestamp of when each route was fetched, so you always know how fresh a row is.

Do I need a proxy? No — proxy is off and the actor runs directly (the endpoint is open and global). Advanced users can still route through Apify Proxy via the API (see below).

Are the numbers guaranteed accurate? They come straight from the live Miles Calculator and change when earn rates are updated. Always treated as a snapshot at run time (see Scraped At).
