Changi Airport Timetable Scraper

Changi Airport Timetable Scraper pulls live arrival and departure flight data straight from Changi Airport's (SIN) own flight-status API — the same one powering the airport's official website. Get flight numbers, airlines, scheduled/estimated/actual times, gates, baggage belts, terminals, and flight status in structured JSON, CSV, or Excel, without touching a browser. Run it once, on a schedule, or hook it into your own app via the Apify API.

Why use this scraper?

• Flight tracking dashboards — build a live arrivals/departures board for a travel app or internal tool.
• Passenger meeting & logistics — check gate, belt, and delay status for pickups or ground transport planning.
• Travel & OTA data feeds — enrich itineraries with real-time SIN flight status.
• Research & analytics — study route frequency, delay patterns, or terminal load over time.

Runs on Apify, so you get scheduling, an API for every result, and monitoring/alerting for free — no server or proxy setup needed.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor's Input tab.
2. Pick a direction: arrivals, departures, or both.
3. Optionally set a scheduled date, terminal, and whether to fetch backwards in time from that date.
4. Optionally cap the number of results with max items.
5. Click Start and download results from the Output tab once the run finishes.

Input

Field	Type	Description
direction	select	dep (departures only, default), arr (arrivals only), or both
scheduledDate	date	Flight schedule date, YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to today.
terminal	select	Filter by terminal: all (default), 1, 2, 3, or 4
prev	boolean	Page backwards in time from the scheduled date/time instead of forwards. Default false.
maxItems	integer	Cap on results per direction. Default 100; set explicitly to fetch more (or pass null for unlimited).
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Apify Proxy config, rotated per request to avoid rate limiting. Defaults to Apify Proxy enabled.

Example input:

{
  "direction": "both",
  "scheduledDate": "2026-08-02",
  "terminal": "1",
  "prev": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Output

Each dataset item is one flight entry. Example:

{
  "flight_number": "SQ963",
  "direction": "ARR",
  "airline": "SQ",
  "airline_details": { "name": "Singapore Airlines" },
  "airport_details": { "name": "Jakarta" },
  "terminal": "3",
  "display_belt": "45",
  "scheduled_date": "2026-08-01",
  "scheduled_time": "20:55",
  "flight_status": "Landed"
}

You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Output tab, or pull them programmatically via the Apify API.

Main fields

Field	Description
flight_number	Flight code, e.g. SQ963
direction	ARR or DEP
airline_details.name	Airline name
airport_details.name	Origin (arrivals) or destination (departures) airport
terminal	Changi terminal
display_gate	Departure gate (departures)
display_belt	Baggage belt (arrivals)
scheduled_date / scheduled_time	Scheduled date and time
estimated_timestamp / actual_timestamp	Estimated / actual movement time
flight_status	Current status, e.g. Confirmed, Landed, New Gate

Cost

This is a lightweight API-based scraper — no browser rendering. A run fetching a few hundred flights typically finishes in well under a minute and uses minimal compute units, so it comfortably fits within Apify's free tier for regular use.

Tips

• Use maxItems to limit runs when you only need the next handful of flights.
• Combine terminal with direction to build a focused board for one terminal.
• Schedule the Actor (Apify's built-in Schedules) to keep a dataset continuously refreshed.

FAQ & disclaimer

This Actor reads publicly accessible flight data exposed by Changi Airport's own website. Flight information can change without notice — always verify time-critical details (gate, delay, cancellation) directly with the airline or airport before travelling.
