Italo Scraper - Italian High-Speed Train Fares

What does Italo Scraper do?

Italo Scraper extracts high-speed train fares, schedules, and seat availability from Italo, Italy's premium private high-speed rail operator. Search any Italo route and get structured data including train numbers, departure and arrival times, journey durations, prices by travel class, and availability status.

Italo operates high-speed trains (up to 300 km/h) on major Italian routes including Roma-Milano, Roma-Napoli, Firenze-Venezia, Torino-Napoli, and Bologna-Salerno. This actor extracts the same fare data you see when searching on italotreno.com.

No login, cookies, or Italo account required. The actor runs on the Apify platform, giving you API access, scheduling, webhooks, and integrations with tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and Slack.

• Revenue management research — Analyze Italo's dynamic pricing patterns, class distribution, and availability across routes and dates.

How much does it cost to scrape Italo?

A typical run searching one route returns 20-80 results (depending on available trains and classes) and uses approximately 0.05-0.20 compute units. That means you can search hundreds of routes per dollar on the Apify platform.

For scheduled monitoring (e.g. checking Roma-Milano prices daily), expect to spend around $1-3 per month depending on how many routes you track.

Tips

• Use simple city names — "Roma", "Milano", "Napoli" work fine. The actor resolves them to the correct Italo station automatically.
• Book early for best fares — Italo's dynamic pricing means fares increase as departure date approaches. Schedule weekly scrapes to track price trends.
• Use IT residential proxies for the most reliable results. The default Apify Proxy works, but Italian residential proxies avoid geo-blocking and rate limiting.
• Compare with Trenitalia — Pair this actor with the Trenitalia Scraper to compare fares between Italy's two high-speed rail operators.
• Schedule runs to build a price history. Italo fares on Roma-Milano can range from EUR 19.90 (Low Cost) to EUR 129.90 (Club Executive).

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Italo? This actor accesses publicly available train schedule and pricing information — the same data you see when searching on italotreno.com. No login or authentication is required.

Why are some prices null? When a fare class is sold out or not available for a route, the price is returned as null and availability shows "Sold out" or "Check online".

Can I search routes Italo doesn't serve? Italo only operates on specific high-speed corridors in Italy. If you search a route that Italo doesn't serve (e.g. small regional towns), the actor will return zero results. Check the routes list above.

Results look empty? Make sure your station names are correct. Try simple names like "Roma" or "Milano". If the date is in the past or too far in the future, Italo may not have fares available yet.
