FAQ

Do I need a Google API key? No. The actor reads public Google Flights pages.

Can I track price changes over time? Yes. Set dedupe: false and schedule every hour. Each run writes a fresh snapshot with a scrapedAt timestamp so you build your own price history table.

Which airports are supported? Every airport with a valid three letter IATA code. JFK, LHR, SFO, NRT, CDG, DXB, SIN, SYD, GRU and so on.

Does Google block scrapers? Google Flights is less aggressive than OTAs but still rate limits. The actor ships with residential proxy by default. Lower concurrency if you run at high volume.

Is the price total or per passenger? Price is the total for the party. pricePerPax is the total divided by passenger count.

Can I get business and first class fares? Yes. Set cabinClass to premium_economy, business, or first.

Is scraping Google Flights allowed? This actor reads the same public HTML a browser sees. Respect the site's terms and rate limit sensibly.
