Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Flights Real Time API Search for cheap flights on Google Flights via a simple REST API. ### Endpoints #### One-way flights `POST /oneway` Search for one-way flights between two airports on a given date. #### Round-trip flights `POST /roundtrip` Search for round-trip flights between two airports with departure and return dates. ### Request body (JSON) #### Common fields (both endpoints) | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `departure_date` | string | Yes | Departure date `YYYY-MM-DD` | | `from_airport` | string | Yes | Departure airport IATA code | | `to_airport` | string | Yes | Destination airport IATA code | | `currency` | string | No | Currency code (default `usd`) | | `max_price` | integer | No | Maximum price filter | | `seat_type` | integer | No | `1` = Economy, `3` = Business | | `passengers` | int[] | No | Passenger age codes | #### One-way only | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `max_stops` | integer | Maximum number of stops | | `airline_codes` | string[] | Include only these airlines | | `exclude_airline_codes` | string[] | Exclude these airlines | | `departure_time_min` | integer | Earliest departure hour (0-23) | | `departure_time_max` | integer | Latest departure hour (0-23) | | `arrival_time_min` | integer | Earliest arrival hour (0-23) | | `arrival_time_max` | integer | Latest arrival hour (0-23) | #### Round-trip only | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `return_date` | string | Return date `YYYY-MM-DD` (required) | | `max_departure_stops` | integer | Max stops on outbound leg | | `max_return_stops` | integer | Max stops on return leg | | `departure_airline_codes` | string[] | Include only these airlines (outbound) | | `departure_exclude_airline_codes` | string[] | Exclude airlines (outbound) | | `return_airline_codes` | string[] | Include only these airlines (return) | | `return_exclude_airline_codes` | string[] | Exclude airlines (return) | | `departure_departure_time_min` | integer | Outbound earliest departure hour | | `departure_departure_time_max` | integer | Outbound latest departure hour | | `departure_arrival_time_min` | integer | Outbound earliest arrival hour | | `departure_arrival_time_max` | integer | Outbound latest arrival hour | | `return_departure_time_min` | integer | Return earliest departure hour | | `return_departure_time_max` | integer | Return latest departure hour | | `return_arrival_time_min` | integer | Return earliest arrival hour | | `return_arrival_time_max` | integer | Return latest arrival hour | ### Example #### One-way request ```json POST /oneway { "departure_date": "2026-04-15", "from_airport": "JFK", "to_airport": "TLV", "max_stops": 1, "currency": "usd" } ```` #### Round-trip request ```json POST /roundtrip { "departure_date": "2026-04-15", "return_date": "2026-04-22", "from_airport": "JFK", "to_airport": "TLV", "currency": "usd" } ``` ### Response Both endpoints return a JSON array of flight results sorted by best overall value. `price_insights_low` and `price_insights_high` represent Google's historical price range for the searched route and travel dates. #### One-way response item example: ```json { "price_range_in_relation_to_other_periods": "low", "price_insights_low": 65, "price_insights_high": 135, "from_airport": "Berlin (BER)", "to_airport": "Paris (CDG)", "departure_date": "2026-06-15", "price": "$56", "price_as_number": 56, "duration": "1 hr 50 min", "duration_seconds": 6600, "buy_link": "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?tfs=GjwSCjIwMjYtMDYtMTUiIAoDQkVSEgoyMDI2LTA2LTE1GgNDREcqAlUyMgQ1MTYxagUSA0JFUnIFEgNDREdCAQFIAZgBAg&curr=usd", "airline": "easyJet", "stops": 0, "stops_info": [], "departure_description": "10:15 AM on Mon, Jun 15", "arrival_description": "12:05 PM on Mon, Jun 15" } ``` `stops_info` is an array describing each layover.
