🚀 How to scrape Rome2Rio.com (3 steps)

1. Set your input — provide trips or origin (see the table below; defaults work out of the box).
2. Pick options — filters, a proxyConfiguration, and a maxItems cap.
3. Run & export — click Start, then download the dataset as JSON/CSV/Excel or fetch it via the API.

🌐 Proxies — what's actually needed

Measured against the live API (100 requests direct + 105 through Apify Proxy):

	Success	p50 latency	Throughput @6 concurrent
Datacenter (default)	20/20 (100%)	0.28 s	~890 searches/min
Residential	94% (75/80 over 4 back-to-back waves)	1.62 s	~112 searches/min

Rome2Rio's mobile API applies no IP-reputation blocking — not a single 403/429 came back from datacenter IPs, and a full 8-trip platform run finished in 54 s with zero retries. So the default datacenter proxy is the right choice; it is ~6x faster and doesn't touch your residential GB quota.

Choose RESIDENTIAL only when you want a specific country's pricing/availability. Budget ~133 KB of residential transfer per trip (with timetables on) — roughly 78,000 trips per 10 GB. The residential failures above were transient proxy-side errors (ProxyError/SSLError), not target blocks, and the actor's transport retries them automatically. Avoid pinning one sticky session: a reused residential exit IP died after ~7 requests, while per-request rotation (what this actor does by default) held at 94–100% indefinitely.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an account or API key for Rome2Rio?

No. The actor talks to Rome2Rio's public/mobile API for you — you only need an Apify account.

Do I need a proxy?

A proxy is recommended for reliable runs; set proxyConfiguration (Residential is safest for geo-restricted or bot-protected sites).

What export formats are supported?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, JSONL, RSS, or live via the Apify API and dataset endpoints.

Is scraping this legal?

You are responsible for how you use the data. Scrape only public travel route data and comply with Rome2Rio.com's Terms and applicable law (e.g. GDPR/CCPA for personal data).

---

🛠️ How it works

The actor impersonates Rome2Rio's official app/site and calls its private API the same way the app does, then normalises each response into the flat record above. No browser, no HTML scraping — just clean, structured data.

---

📌 Good to know

• Scrape only public travel route data and respect Rome2Rio.com's Terms of Service and robots policy.
• For personal data, comply with GDPR/CCPA and applicable law — you are the data controller.
• Fields can be null when Rome2Rio doesn't expose them for a given record.
