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.

From 31 October 2026: $1.00 per 1,000 rows on the Free plan, $0.70 on Gold, plus $0.003 per GB of run memory at start ($0.006 at the default 2 GB). 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 — 30 October 2026

We ran this Actor and the second most-used KAYAK flights Actor on the Apify Store on the same request: New York JFK to Los Angeles, one way, 20 November 2026, sorted by price, 20 flights. Both returned the same 20 flights at the same prices, and those prices matched kayak.com opened at the same minute ($194, $213, $213, $215…). This is where they differed:

	This Actor	The other one
Flight numbers for every segment	Yes (B61301, DL738…)	No
Aircraft, layover airport and minutes	Yes	No
How many sellers quote each flight	Yes	No
Paste a KAYAK link instead of filling the form	Yes	Yes

What you get

Field	Example
price / currency / priceLabel	78 / USD / $78 — per person, as KAYAK shows it; round trips are the total for both directions
totalPrice / adults / children / travelers	234 / 2 / 1 / 3 — the price for everyone in the search
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 }] — on a round trip stops is the most stops on either leg; layovers lists both legs
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; for trips KAYAK sells as separate tickets it opens the itinerary on KAYAK
splitTickets[]	Only when KAYAK sells the trip as separate tickets: seller, price, route and checkout link of each ticket
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

From 31 October 2026 there are two events: a row, and a start fee of $0.003 per GB of run memory (the default 2 GB makes it $0.006 per run). Nothing is charged for searches, retries, pages or proxy traffic, and rows that fail are never charged.

Per 1,000 rows	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Row price	$1.00	$0.85	$0.78	$0.70

Job	Rows	Runs	Free plan	Gold
One route, one date	50	1	$0.056	$0.041
100 routes in one run	5,000	1	$5.01	$3.51
20 routes tracked daily for a month	30,000	30	$30.18	$21.18
Big export	50,000	1	$50.01	$35.01

Put many routes into one run (routes or several links): the start fee is paid once per run, not per route.

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
searchUrls	Paste kayak.com or momondo.com search links instead — route, dates, cabin, passengers, sort and airline filter are read from the link
adults / children	Up to 9 passengers; price stays per person, totalPrice covers everyone
cabinClass	economy, premium economy, business, first
sortBy	best (KAYAK ranking), cheapest, shortest
maxStops	Nonstop only, or up to one or two stops
airlines	Only itineraries flown by these airlines (AA, DL), filtered by KAYAK itself
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. A route KAYAK cannot search — a date in the past or more than about 11 months ahead, a city name instead of a code, the same origin and destination — gets a free error row that names the problem, at once and without retries. 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.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for agents calling this Actor through the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (lergassy/kayak-flights-scraper).

Purpose: Scrape flight prices from KAYAK by route and dates: price per booking provider, airline, flight numbers, times, duration, stops and layovers, aircraft, cabin and a direct booking link. One-way and round trip, batch routes, all cabins.

Timing: the input below usually finishes in about 35 seconds, so run-sync-get-dataset-items works. Bigger lists take proportionally longer — past a few minutes start an asynchronous run and read the dataset when it finishes (the sync endpoint stops at 5 minutes).

Minimal input:

{"origin": "DPS", "destination": "SIN", "departureDate": "2027-03-15"}

Output: one dataset row per flight offer. Main fields: price, currency, provider, airline, flightNumbers, stops, departAt, arriveAt, durationMinutes, bookingUrl.
