You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Scraper API โ€” Fares & Multi-City Query Google Flights from an Apify Actor or AI agent and receive structured visible fare cards for one-way, round-trip, and multi-city itineraries. It is designed for travel-price monitoring, itinerary comparison, metasearch prototypes, and agent workflows that need current fare snapshots. ### What it returns Each dataset item includes the requested itinerary, visible price and currency, airline text, flight numbers when detected, departure/arrival times, duration, stops, cabin class, the search URL, and extraction warnings. Google Flights is interactive, so a direct booking URL is returned only when Google exposes one; it is otherwise `null`. ### Input examples Standard round trip: ```json { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LAX", "departureDate": "2026-08-15", "returnDate": "2026-08-22", "tripType": "roundTrip", "maxResults": 20 } ```` Multi-city: ```json { "tripType": "multiCity", "multiCityLegs": [ { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "date": "2026-08-15" }, { "origin": "LHR", "destination": "CDG", "date": "2026-08-20" }, { "origin": "CDG", "destination": "JFK", "date": "2026-08-27" } ] } ``` ### Pricing | Event | Price | |---|---:| | Actor start | $0.00005 | | Fare record | $0.01 | The actor stops emitting after `maxResults`. Residential proxy traffic is enabled by default and is billed separately by Apify according to the accountโ€™s proxy rates. ### Reliability and limitations Google may show regional availability, consent screens, rate limits, or bot-detection pages. The actor preserves a diagnostic `OUTPUT` object and returns a successful warning state instead of pretending that an empty challenge page is a no-results search. Visible fare cards are snapshots and can change before booking; validate final availability, baggage rules, taxes, and booking terms with the airline or travel provider. ### Legal note Use this actor responsibly and comply with Googleโ€™s terms, applicable law, and any relevant airline or travel-provider terms. Do not use it to misrepresent prices or bypass access controls. # Actor input Schema ## `origin` (type: `string`): Use this when searching a standard route. Enter a three-letter IATA airport code, for example JFK. Not used for multi-city searches. ## `destination` (type: `string`): Use this when searching a standard route. Enter a three-letter IATA airport code, for example LAX. Not used for multi-city searches. ## `departureDate` (type: `string`): Use this for the first flight date in YYYY-MM-DD format, for example 2026-08-15. ## `returnDate` (type: `string`): Use this for a round-trip return date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Leave empty for one-way or multi-city. ## `tripType` (type: `string`): Use this to select the itinerary shape. Multi-city requires multiCityLegs. ## `multiCityLegs` (type: `array`): Use this for two to six sequential legs. Each object needs origin, destination, and date, for example \[{"origin":"JFK","destination":"LHR","date":"2026-08-15"}]. ## `adults` (type: `integer`): Use this to set the number of adult passengers. Default is 1. ## `children` (type: `integer`): Use this to set the number of child passengers. Default is 0. ## `cabinClass` (type: `string`): Use this to filter the requested cabin class. This is not a guarantee that every fare card has the same booking class. ## `currency` (type: `string`): Use this to request a three-letter ISO currency code, for example USD, EUR, or GBP. ## `nonStop` (type: `boolean`): Use this to request nonstop options on standard one-way or round-trip searches. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Use this to cap returned fare records and control runtime and cost. Default is 20. ## `useResidentialProxy` (type: `boolean`): Use this to improve access reliability for Google Flights. Residential proxy usage may increase Apify runtime cost. ## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`): Use this to choose the two-letter residential proxy country, for example US. Only applies when useResidentialProxy is true. ## `includeRawText` (type: `boolean`): Use this when debugging or preserving the visible Google Flights fare-card text. Set false for the leanest output. ## Actor input object example ```json { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LAX", "departureDate": "2026-08-15", "returnDate": "2026-08-22", "tripType": "roundTrip", "adults": 1, "children": 0, "cabinClass": "economy", "currency": "USD", "nonStop": false, "maxResults": 20, "useResidentialProxy": true, "proxyCountry": "US", "includeRawText": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
