❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Google Flights API key? No. There is no official public Google Flights API, so this is the closest Google Flights API alternative. The Actor pulls live data directly from Google Flights — no key, no login, no quota.

Are the flight prices real and live? Yes. Prices are fetched at run time and reflect exactly what Google Flights shows. Availability and fares change constantly, so re-run for fresh data.

Can it scrape round-trip flights? Yes — set tripType to round-trip and provide a returnDate.

How do I find the cheapest day to fly? Set both departureDate and departureDateEnd to scan every date in that window — you get one set of results per day, perfect for a fare calendar.

Which airports are supported? Any airport Google Flights supports. Use standard IATA codes (JFK, LHR, IST, CDG, DXB, …).

Can I get business or first class fares? Yes — set seatClass to premium-economy, business or first.

Can I scrape non-stop flights only? Yes. Set maxStops to 0 to return only non-stop itineraries, or leave it blank for any number of connections.

Can I scrape Google Flights without an API key or login? Yes. This is a no-API-key, no-login scraper — just enter origin, destination and a date, and it returns live Google Flights prices ready for CSV or JSON export. There is no OAuth, no cookies and no quota to manage.

How do I export Google Flights data to CSV or JSON? Run the Actor, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML from the Apify console, or pull it straight from the Apify dataset API. Every itinerary becomes one clean row of flight data.

How much data can I get? As many itineraries as Google Flights returns for your search — and far more if you use departureDateEnd to scan a date range (one result set per day). Use maxResults to cap the total when needed.

Is it legal to scrape Google Flights? The Actor collects only publicly available flight-price data shown to any visitor. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable terms and laws. This is an independent scraper and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
