Kayak Scraper

This Apify actor is designed to scrape flight data from Kayak.com using Playwright. It is built with a focus on ease of use and provides structured output, mimicking the input and output patterns of a typical flight scraper for consistency.

Features

• Flight Search: Scrapes one-way or round-trip flight information based on specified origin, destination, and dates.
• Playwright Integration: Utilizes Playwright for robust browser automation, handling dynamic content and potential anti-bot measures.
• Structured Output: Delivers clean, JSON-formatted flight data.

Usage

The actor requires an input object, defined by input_schema.json. This schema specifies the parameters for your flight search.

Input Configuration

The input_schema.json file outlines all available input fields. Key parameters include:

• origin (string, required): 3-letter IATA code for the departure airport (e.g., 'JFK').
• destination (string, required): 3-letter IATA code for the arrival airport (e.g., 'LAX').
• departure_date (string, required): The desired departure date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
• return_date (string, optional): The return date for a round trip in YYYY-MM-DD format. Leave empty for one-way.
• passengers (object, optional): Number of adult, child, and infant passengers. Defaults to 1 adult.
• seat (string, optional): Cabin class (economy, premium economy, business, first). Defaults to economy.

For a complete list of input options and their descriptions, refer to input_schema.json.

Output Example

The actor pushes results to the Apify dataset. Each item in the dataset represents a found flight and typically includes:

[
  {
    "price": 559,
    "currency": "USD",
    "provider": "DL",
    "bookingUrl": "...",
    "legs": [
      {
        "origin": "JFK",
        "destination": "LAX",
        "departureTime": "...",
        "arrivalTime": "...",
        "duration": "...",
        "stops": 0,
        "segments": [...]
      }
    ]
  }
]

(Note: Actual fields and their exact values may vary based on Kayak's response and the parser logic.)
