Skiplagged Flight Scraper API ✈️

What does Skiplagged Flight Scraper API do?

Skiplagged Flight Scraper API collects public flight search results from Skiplagged and saves one structured record per itinerary. Provide a Skiplagged flight URL, or enter an origin, destination, and departure date, then export fares, schedules, stops, airlines, airports, and segment details.

The Actor accepts one-way and round-trip searches such as https://skiplagged.com/flights/LON/dubai-emirate/2026-09-17. Empty fields are left out of each item, so the dataset does not contain repeated null values.

Why use Skiplagged Flight Scraper API?

• Airfare research - Compare route options, prices, stop counts, airlines, and travel times.
• Price monitoring - Schedule repeat runs for a route and compare fare changes over time.
• Travel planning - Review segment-level departure and arrival details before making a booking decision.
• Route analysis - Find nonstop, one-stop, multi-stop, or hidden-city route options.
• Automation-ready output - Use the Apify API, webhooks, schedules, dataset exports, or no-code integrations.

Usage Examples

Basic URL extraction

Collect the 20 lowest-priced one-way options from the supplied route:

{
    "startUrl": "https://skiplagged.com/flights/LON/dubai-emirate/2026-09-17",
    "results_wanted": 20
}

Route and date fields

Build a search from airport codes and a date without pasting a URL:

{
    "origin": "JFK",
    "destination": "LAX",
    "date": "2026-09-17",
    "filter": "nonstop",
    "sortBy": "duration_asc",
    "results_wanted": 20
}

Round trip with passenger counts

Collect round-trip options and include child passenger counts in the search:

{
    "startUrl": "https://skiplagged.com/flights/LON/dubai-emirate/2026-09-17/2026-09-24",
    "adults": 2,
    "children": 1,
    "filter": "with_price",
    "results_wanted": 50,
    "max_pages": 2
}

Airline and proxy filters

Limit results to Emirates and use Apify Proxy for a repeated run:

{
    "startUrl": "https://skiplagged.com/flights/LON/dubai-emirate/2026-09-17",
    "airline": "EK",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
    },
    "results_wanted": 20

Tips for best results

• Use a complete Skiplagged URL when you want the source route and dates copied exactly.
• Use airport codes for precise airport searches, or location slugs for city and region searches.
• Start with results_wanted: 20 while checking a new route.
• Use max_pages to keep larger result sets within a predictable size.
• Use nonstop or one_stop when travel time matters more than the lowest fare.
• Prices and availability can change between runs. Save the run time with your exported dataset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Skiplagged URL with a city destination?

Yes. Airport codes and location slugs such as dubai-emirate are accepted when Skiplagged supports the route.

Can I run a round-trip search?

Yes. Add a return date in the URL or provide returnDate. The output includes the minimum round-trip price when Skiplagged publishes it.

Does max_pages request pages from Skiplagged?

No. Skiplagged returns the available search set in one response. The Actor saves that set in local 50-record batches and uses max_pages as an output limit.

What happens when a field is unavailable?

That field is omitted from the item. The dataset does not add always-empty or always-null fields.

Can I export the results to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Apify datasets support CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, and other export formats.

Is it legal to collect Skiplagged flight data?

Public data collection can be subject to website rules, contracts, privacy requirements, and local law. You are responsible for using the Actor lawfully and respecting Skiplagged's terms.
