Kayak Flights Scraper

Kayak Flights Scraper turns a KAYAK flight search into clean rows: the price, who is selling the ticket — airline or agency — the airline and flight numbers, times, duration, stops and layover airports, aircraft type, cabin, and a direct booking link. One-way and round trip, any cabin, many routes in one run.

$0.70 per 1,000 rows. No run fee, no page fee, no proxy fee. Error rows are always free.

KAYAK is a metasearch engine, so a row here answers a question Google Flights cannot: which seller is cheapest for this exact itinerary right now, with the link that takes you to that price.

Tested head-to-head — 24 September 2026

We ran this Actor and the other two KAYAK flight Actors on the Apify Store on the same request: New York JFK to London Heathrow, one way, 12 November 2026, 20 flights, on a Free-plan account. All three returned 20 flights, with cheapest fares within $8 of each other ($285–$293). This is where they differed:

	This Actor	The 2 others
Charged for these 20 flights	$0.014	$0.021 – $0.152
Flight numbers and aircraft type for every segment	Yes	No
How many sellers quote each flight	Yes	No

What you get

Field	Example
price / currency / priceLabel	78 / USD / $78 — round trips are the total for both directions
provider / providerCode	Booking.com / BDCFlight — the seller behind that price
providersForThisFlight	5 — how many sellers offer this same itinerary
airline / airlines / flightNumbers	Jetstar / ["Jetstar"] / ["JQ86"]
stops / layovers[]	1 / [{ "airport": "KUL", "minutes": 95 }]
departAt / arriveAt / durationMinutes	2027-03-15T14:55 / 2027-03-15T18:00 / 185
legs[] → segments[]	Per flight: airline, flight number, airports, times, duration, aircraft (Airbus A321neo), layover
cabinClass / tripType	economy / round_trip
bookingUrl	Deep link straight to that seller's checkout
kayakUrl	The itinerary's page on KAYAK

Switch on One row per booking provider and every seller of an itinerary becomes its own row — that is the comparison table behind "who sells this flight cheapest".

How to run it

1. Enter origin and destination as IATA codes (DPS, JFK, LHR) and a departure date.
2. Add a return date for a round trip, set passengers and cabin.
3. Click Start. Rows appear in the Flights table.

Many routes in one run

{
  "routes": [
    { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "departureDate": "2027-03-15", "returnDate": "2027-03-22" },
    { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "CDG", "departureDate": "2027-03-15" },
    { "origin": "BOS", "destination": "LHR", "departureDate": "2027-03-16" }
  ],
  "maxResults": 50
}

There is no fee per search, so the number of routes only affects the rows you keep.

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("lergassy/kayak-flights-scraper").call(run_input={
    "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR",
    "departureDate": "2027-03-15", "returnDate": "2027-03-22",
    "sortBy": "price", "maxResults": 50,
})
for f in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f["price"], f["currency"], f["provider"], f["airline"], f["flightNumbers"])

Bulk export: what it costs

One event, $0.0007 per row — $0.70 per 1,000 rows, down to $0.50 per 1,000 on higher Store tiers. Nothing is charged for runs, searches, retries, pages or proxy traffic, and rows that fail are never charged.

Job	Rows	Cost
One route, one date	50	$0.035
100 routes swept once	5,000	$3.50
20 routes tracked daily for a month	30,000	$21.00
Big export	50,000	$35.00

Measured on public pricing on 21 September 2026: the most-used KAYAK flights Actor on Apify charges $0.001 per row plus $0.0005 per run, which makes the same 50,000-row job $50.05. Some Actors in this category bill Apify platform usage (compute and proxy) to your own account on top of their row price — here compute and proxy are included.

What it is good for

• Fare comparison and metasearch: the same itinerary from five sellers, with each price and link.
• Price monitoring: schedule the routes you care about and store one row per run; provider tells you who moved.
• Travel agencies: check whether an agency undercuts the airline before you quote a client.
• Market research: which carriers and sellers hold which routes, at what price and stop count.

Inputs

Input	Notes
origin / destination / departureDate / returnDate	IATA codes and ISO dates; a return date prices the round trip as one total
adults / children	Up to 9 passengers
cabinClass	economy, premium economy, business, first
sortBy	best (KAYAK ranking), cheapest, shortest
maxStops	Nonstop only, or up to one or two stops
maxResults	Rows per search; KAYAK serves 50 per page and more pages are loaded as needed
allProviders	One row per seller instead of one row per itinerary
currency	Three-letter code
routes[]	Many routes in one run
proxyConfiguration	Default works; switch to residential if a route gets a bot check

Notes and limits

Times are local to each airport, as KAYAK displays them. Round-trip prices are the total for both directions. Prices move during the day and between sellers — for monitoring, schedule the run rather than caching a result. If KAYAK serves a bot check for the IP, the run writes an error row that says so and suggests switching the proxy to residential; that row is free.

The Actor reads publicly displayed prices and schedules without logging in, bypassing access controls or collecting personal data. KAYAK's terms restrict automated access, and the legality of scraping public data depends on your jurisdiction and use; review the terms and consult a lawyer for commercial use.
