KAYAK Flight Price Scraper – Airfare, Providers & Airport Data ✈️

Scrape live flight prices from KAYAK — the metasearch engine that compares hundreds of airlines and travel agencies — as clean, structured data. For any route and date this KAYAK scraper returns every flight option with its price, provider, currency, and departure/arrival times, plus cheapest/best flags. It talks directly to KAYAK's private mobile API (reversed from the KAYAK Android app) and mints its own session headlessly, so there's no KAYAK account, no login, and no API key — just enter an origin, destination and date and run.

Perfect for building fare-tracking tools, travel price-comparison sites, airfare analytics, and travel-market research — get flight metasearch data in seconds instead of maintaining a fragile browser scraper.

What you can scrape

• ✈️ Flight prices & providers — every booking option for a route/date: provider name, price, currency, localized price, departure & arrival times, plus cheapest and best flags.
• 🛫 Nearby airports — all airports around a city or airport code (name, city, distance, popularity).
• 💱 Currencies & countries — KAYAK's reference lists for building localized travel apps.

Input

Choose a mode with searchType (flights is the default). Flight search example:

{
  "searchType": "flights",
  "origin": "JFK",
  "destination": "LAX",
  "departureDate": "30 days",
  "adults": 1,
  "cabin": "economy",
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Field	Notes
origin / destination	Airport IATA codes (e.g. JFK, LAX)
departureDate	YYYY-MM-DD or a relative value like 30 days
cabin	economy, premium, business, or first
adults	Number of adult passengers
airportCodes	For the nearbyAirports mode, e.g. ["NYC"]
maxItems	Cap rows (0 = all). One search can return several hundred provider options
proxyConfiguration	RESIDENTIAL proxy required (default) — KAYAK's edge blocks datacenter IPs

Output

One clean row per flight option — export as JSON, CSV or Excel:

{
  "searchType": "flight",
  "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LAX", "date": "2026-09-29", "cabin": "economy",
  "provider_name": "Priceline", "price": 179, "currency": "USD",

}

FAQ

Do I need a KAYAK account or API key? No. The actor mints its own anonymous session, so there's nothing to sign up for.

Which airlines and agencies are covered? KAYAK is a metasearch engine — a single search compares hundreds of airlines and online travel agencies (Expedia, Priceline, CheapOair and many more), and each provider option is returned as a row.

Do I need a proxy? Yes — a residential proxy (the default). KAYAK's edge blocks datacenter IP ranges.

Why can one search return hundreds of rows? Each itinerary can have several bookable provider prices, and each is a separate row. Use maxItems to limit the output.

Can I export to CSV or Excel? Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or straight from the Apify API and dataset.
