✈️ Skyscanner Flights Scraper - Live Prices as JSON

Search live flight prices across every airline the way Skyscanner does - then get the whole result set back as clean, structured JSON. Give an origin, a destination and a date; receive every itinerary with its price, airlines, stops, durations and times, cheapest first.

One-way or round-trip. No browser setup, no proxies, no anti-bot headaches - it's all handled for you.

⚡ Why use it

• Real Skyscanner prices - the same live results you'd see on the site, across dozens of providers
• Structured JSON, not HTML - one clean row per itinerary, ready for a spreadsheet, database or model
• Cheapest first - results are sorted by price so the best deal is row 1
• One-way & round-trip - leave the return date empty for one-way
• Any market & currency - price a route as a traveller booking from any country

⚠️ Notes

• The first search on a route takes ~30s while a live session warms up; repeat searches are much faster. The actor waits and retries automatically.
• Prices depend on market and currency - a route priced from US/USD can differ from UK/GBP.
