FlixBus Scraper - Bus & Train Prices, Seats $1/1K

Get FlixBus and FlixTrain rides for any city pairs and dates: price (with and without the booking fee), seats left, departure and arrival time, duration, departure and arrival stations, transfers, operator, amenities (Wi-Fi, power sockets...) and a booking link. One date or a whole price calendar of up to 90 days. $1 per 1,000 trips, no login.

• Routes in plain words: Paris, FR -> Amsterdam, Berlin -> Munich, New York -> Boston. Add a country code after a comma when a city name exists in several countries.
• Dates: a first date and a number of days (price calendar), or exact dates. Add the way back in one click.
• Filters: direct rides only, maximum price, bookable rides only. Prices for 1 to 9 adults, in 14 currencies.
• Cheapest of the day is flagged on every row, so a price calendar is one sort away.
• Europe and North America: every city FlixBus and FlixTrain serve.

Free tier — 10 results free on every run

The first 10 results of every run are free, on every run you ever make — not a one-off trial. One guard: the free allowance never covers more than half of a run, so the offer stays sustainable.

• Free results on every run and a hard cost cap (maxTotalChargeUsd).
• Price: $1 per 1,000 here, $5 there.

Use cases

• Price calendars and alerts: the cheapest ride per day on your routes, every day.
• Travel apps and comparison sites: bus and train options next to flights, with a booking link.
• Market research: prices, frequency and capacity of intercity bus routes across Europe and North America.
• AI travel agents: call it as an MCP tool to answer "how do I get from A to B cheaply on Friday?".

FAQ

Do I need a FlixBus account or API key? No. The Actor reads the same public search the FlixBus website uses.

Does it book tickets? No. Each row has a booking link that opens the FlixBus search for that day.

Are prices final? They are the prices FlixBus shows at the time of the run, for the number of adults you set. Prices change with demand; schedule the Actor to follow them.

Can I call it from code? Yes: Apify API, Python and JavaScript clients, Make, Zapier, n8n, or as an MCP tool.
