Trenitalia Scraper — Train Prices & Schedules

What does Trenitalia Scraper do?

Trenitalia Scraper extracts train schedules, ticket prices, availability, and service details from Trenitalia, Italy's national railway operator. Search any Italian rail route and get structured data for Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, Frecciabianca, Intercity, and Regionale trains — including departure/arrival times, journey duration, prices by service class, and fare types.

No login, cookies, or Trenitalia 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.

How much does it cost to scrape Trenitalia?

A typical run searching one route returns 30-100 results (depending on available trains and classes). It costs $0.02 per run plus $0.002 per result — about $0.08-$0.22 per search.

For scheduled monitoring (e.g. checking Roma-Milano prices daily), expect to spend around $2-7 per month depending on how many routes you track.

Tips

• Use specific station names for best results: "Roma Termini", "Milano Centrale", "Firenze Santa Maria Novella", "Napoli Centrale", "Venezia Santa Lucia".
• Set frecceOnly: true if you only want high-speed trains — this filters out Regionale and Intercity services.
• Use residential proxies for reliable results. The default Apify Proxy works, but residential proxies avoid rate limiting.
• Schedule runs to track price changes over time. Trenitalia fares fluctuate significantly — Economy fares on Frecciarossa can range from 19.90 to 89.90 EUR.
• Combine with other transport actors to build a complete Italian travel comparison: pair with flight scrapers, bus scrapers, or other European rail actors.

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Trenitalia? This actor accesses publicly available train schedule and pricing information — the same data you see when searching on trenitalia.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 available is set to false.

Can I search international routes? The actor focuses on Italian domestic routes. For cross-border trains (e.g. to France, Switzerland, Austria), try searching from border stations like Milano Centrale or Venezia Santa Lucia.

Results look empty? Make sure your station names are spelled correctly. Try common names like "Roma Termini" or "Napoli Centrale". If the date is in the past or too far in the future, Trenitalia may not return results.
