Flight Price Scraper

Compare real flight prices across Kiwi, Ryanair and Google Flights in one call. The same flight, priced by three sources side by side, with direct booking links. Most searches finish in under 2 seconds.

Stop running one scraper per site and stitching the results together yourself. This actor queries three flight data sources at once, merges the same physical flight into a single row, and shows you which source is cheapest, so you always see the real lowest price and where to book it.

How it works

✨ Why teams choose this over other flight scrapers

Running flight scrapers that fail half the time? Getting one price per flight when three sources disagree by 20%? Paying for a browser to render a page that has an API behind it?

• 🔀 Three sources in one call, not one. Kiwi (a metasearch covering 700+ airlines including majors and low-cost carriers), Ryanair direct, and Google Flights. The same flight is priced by every source that has it, so you see the real spread. In testing, Dublin to London Stansted returned the FR290 flight at 16.99 on Ryanair, 18 on Kiwi and 17 on Google Flights, all in one row.
• 🎯 The cheapest source is picked for you. Every merged flight has a bestPrice, a cheapestSource, and a prices map so you can see all three and book the lowest. No manual comparison.
• ⚡ No browser, so it is fast and it does not break. Pure API and server-rendered data. A three-source search typically returns in 1 to 2 seconds. Browser-based scrapers are slower and fail when a page layout shifts.
• 🛫 Majors and low-cost carriers together. Kiwi surfaces low-cost and self-transfer combinations, Google Flights brings the major network carriers (British Airways, Iberia, Lufthansa, Air France and more). You get both in the same result set.
• 🧭 Filters applied on the server, not after. Set maxStops, maxPrice, nonstopOnly or preferredAirlines and get back only what matches. No post-processing, no throwing away rows you paid to receive.
• 📅 Flexible-date price calendar. Set flexDays to search a range around your date and get the cheapest fare per day, so you can move a trip a day to save.
• 🔗 Direct booking links per source. Every itinerary ships with the link to book it, on Kiwi, on Ryanair, or on Google Flights.
• 🧳 Deep itinerary detail. Segments, layovers, self-transfer flags, cabin class, flight numbers and baggage, not just a price and a time.
• 🌍 Any route, any currency. Airport or metro codes worldwide, prices in the ISO currency you ask for.
• 🔓 No login, no API key, no setup. Type a route and run it.

🤖 Copy to your AI assistant

I am using the Flight Price Scraper on Apify. It takes origin, destination and departDate
(YYYY-MM-DD), plus optional returnDate, adults, cabinClass, currency, flexDays, maxStops,
maxPrice, nonstopOnly, preferredAirlines and sources. It returns flight itineraries, each
with a prices map per source (kiwi, ryanair, googleFlights), a bestPrice, a cheapestSource,
segments, layovers, baggage and bookingLinks. Write me an input to find the cheapest nonstop
flight from <ORIGIN> to <DESTINATION> on <DATE>, and explain how to read the prices map to
find the lowest fare and where to book it.

    print(it["bestPrice"], it["currency"], it["primaryAirline"], "via", it["cheapestSource"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('silentflow/flight-price-scraper').call({
    origin: 'JFK',
    destination: 'CDG',
    departDate: '2026-09-10',
    returnDate: '2026-09-17',

});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach(f => console.log(f.bestPrice, f.currency, f.cheapestSource, f.bookingLinks));

Daily fare monitor

Schedule the actor to run each morning on your routes, then compare the new bestPrice against yesterday's dataset. When the price drops, send yourself the row's bookingLinks so you can book in one click.

📈 Performance

Metric	Value
Sources queried per run	Up to 3 (Kiwi, Ryanair, Google Flights) in parallel
Typical search time	1 to 2 seconds
Results per search	Dozens of itineraries per route, merged across sources
Engine	Pure API and server-rendered data, no browser
Reliability	A slow or unavailable source is skipped, the run still returns results from the others

💾 Data export

Results are available as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS through the Apify dataset, via the API or the Console. Pull them into a sheet, a database or your app with one request.

💡 Tips for best results

• Use airport codes for precision, metro codes for breadth. LHR searches Heathrow only; LON searches all London airports. NYC, PAR, MIL and other metro codes are supported too.
• Read the prices map, not just price. The bestPrice and cheapestSource tell you the lowest fare and where to book it. The full prices map shows every source that had the flight.
• Set flexDays to find a cheaper day. Moving a trip by one or two days often cuts the fare. The date field on each row tells you which day it is for.
• Ryanair returns its cheapest direct fare on a route. On routes Ryanair does not serve from your origin, it returns nothing, and Kiwi and Google Flights still cover the route.
• Narrow with filters before you scale. nonstopOnly, maxStops and preferredAirlines cut the result set to what you actually want, so every returned row is useful.

❓ FAQ

Which sources does it use? Kiwi (a metasearch that resells 700+ airlines including low-cost and major carriers), Ryanair direct, and Google Flights.

Do I need a login or API key for the airlines? No. You only need your Apify token to run the actor. No airline account, no API key.

How can three sources appear in one row? When Kiwi, Ryanair and Google Flights all have the same physical flight (same carrier and the same departure and arrival times), the actor merges them into one itinerary and lists each source's price in the prices map.

What if a source is down or slow? The run still succeeds. Each source has its own timeout and runs independently, so a slow source is skipped and you get results from the others. Kiwi is the broadest source and usually carries the search on its own.

Does it support round trips? Yes. Add returnDate and each row becomes a round-trip itinerary with tripType set to roundTrip, the outbound leg in segments and the inbound leg in returnSegments, priced as one combined round-trip fare.

Can I search a whole month for the cheapest day? Use flexDays up to 7 to search a window around your date and get the cheapest fare per day.

Does it return connecting and self-transfer flights? Yes. Kiwi surfaces connecting and self-transfer combinations. Each row shows stops, layovers and an isSelfTransfer flag so you know when two separate tickets are involved.

Which currency will prices be in? The ISO currency you pass in currency. Default is USD.

Can I limit results to specific airlines? Yes. Pass IATA codes in preferredAirlines (for example ["FR", "VY"]) and only those carriers are returned.

How many results do I get? As many as the sources return for your route, up to maxItems (default 50), sorted from cheapest to most expensive.
