Google Flights Scraper & API - Fares, Stops & CO2 Emissions

Google Flights Scraper & API - Fares, Stops & CO2 Emissions

Get Google Flights fares for any route and dates: price, airline, departure and arrival times, duration, stops and layovers, baggage and CO2 emissions — one-way or round trip, any cabin, adults, children and infants, flexible dates — as a spreadsheet, JSON or a live API.

Round-trip searches: each result describes an outbound option. Its price is the lowest associated round-trip total starting with that option; the return flight has not yet been selected. Do not treat a result as a confirmed complete return itinerary.

What you get for each flight

• 💶 Price in your currency (total for all passengers; round-trip total for round trips), and whether it excludes a carry-on bag
• ✈️ Airlines and operating carrier, departure and arrival airports (codes and names), times and dates, duration
• 🔁 Stops and layovers: airport, city and layover time
• 🌱 CO2 emissions in kg and versus the typical flight on the route (e.g. −23%), plus included bags
• 📅 Flexible dates: search several consecutive days and spot the cheapest one, plus Google's verdict on the fares (low / typical / high)
• 🎯 Filters: airlines to include or exclude, max price, max travel time, departure and arrival time windows, max stops

First run: open Input, paste the simple example below, update its dates if needed, then click Start. It searches London → Rome, round trip, for 1 adult in economy, with prices in EUR, no airline exclusion and a limit of 20 results. Open the completed run's dataset and export CSV, Excel or JSON. At the base rate before plan discounts, each returned flight costs $0.001; 20 returned flights cost $0.02. Fewer results may be available. No Google account or login is needed.

Coverage depends on source availability, filters and accessible pages; complete coverage is not guaranteed. Any validation figures below or above describe historical samples, not a guarantee of future accuracy or uptime.

Use cases

• AI travel agents: find and compare flights for a user's exact route, dates, cabin and party size.
• Fare monitoring: track a route every day and configure alerts when the cheapest observed price drops.
• Cheapest day to fly: search the next 2–4 weeks and pick the best date.
• Sustainability reporting: compare CO2 emissions of business trips by airline and route.

How to use

1. Enter Routes, one per line: airport codes (JFK-LAX) or city codes covering all airports (LON-ROM, NYC-PAR).
2. Set the Departure date and, for a round trip, the Return date. Optional: Also search the following days. Google Flights shows fares up to about 11 months ahead (329 days when last measured).
3. Choose the passengers (Adults, Children, Infants), Cabin and Stops, and optionally the Filters (airlines, max price, max duration, time windows).
4. Set the Currency (3-letter code: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, INR, BRL…) and Search from country (2-letter code: us, gb, it…).
5. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

Input

One route, one adult and one departure/return date pair make the first run easier to check. Replace both fixed dates with future dates appropriate for your trip. This configuration uses the same route, dates, cabin, passenger count and currency as the historical output example below.

{
    "routes": ["LON-ROM"],
    "departureDate": "2027-02-12",
    "returnDate": "2027-02-15",
    "extraDays": 0,
    "adults": 1,
    "children": 0,
    "cabin": "economy",
    "currency": "EUR",
    "country": "it",
    "maxFlightsPerSearch": 20
}

Input checks: no failed runs, no charge for a wrong input

Input the search cannot use ends the run normally with an "Input problem" status message that says what to fix — no flights saved, nothing charged:

Input	What happens
No routes, or a route that is not two 3-letter codes	Message asking for a route such as JFK-LAX
Same origin and destination (JFK-JFK)	Message naming the route
Departure date in the past, or return before departure	Message naming the date
Dates (including the extra days) beyond about 11 months	Message with the last date Google Flights offers
Airport or city code Google Flights does not know	That route is skipped within seconds and named in the final message; the other routes are still returned
Currency Google Flights does not offer	Run stopped with a message: Google would answer in US dollars, and prices are never returned under the wrong currency

If a valid search cannot be loaded, the first page received is saved as FAILED_PAGE in the run's key-value store; add the run link to your issue and we can see what Google answered.

Output

One item per outbound flight option. This is a sample from a real run on November 12, 2026 for London → Rome, February 12–15, 2027, one adult, economy and EUR—the same search as the first input. It is not a current fare quote: prices and availability change. For this round trip, price is the lowest associated round-trip total; the return flight is not yet selected.

Advanced example: multiple routes and family filters

This is a separate advanced configuration, not the request behind the historical output above. It searches additional routes and dates for a different party size and excludes Ryanair. More returned flights mean a higher total Actor charge; use Max flights per search and Max cost per run to control volume and spending. Replace the fixed dates before running it when needed.

    "routes": ["LON-ROM", "MXP-FCO"],
    "departureDate": "2027-02-12",
    "returnDate": "2027-02-15",
    "extraDays": 2,

How much does it cost?

Prices and examples below use base rates before plan discounts. The Store’s “from” price may reflect a higher-plan discount; check the Pricing tab for your current plan’s rate.

Pay per event — no monthly rental, no start fee, no proxy or compute surcharge:

• Flight — each flight returned: $1.00 per 1,000 (volume discounts on higher Apify plans).

Example	Base-rate calculation	Actor charge (USD)
First-run example: 20 returned flights	20 × $1 / 1,000	$0.02
Larger search: 14 dates with 30 returned flights per date	420 × $1 / 1,000	$0.42

These are Actor charges before plan discounts, not airfare prices. Fewer returned flights mean a lower charge. Use Max flights per search to limit results and Max cost per run to limit spending.

Automate & integrate

Scheduling, notifications and external destinations require configuration in Apify or the relevant integration.

Schedule daily runs to monitor fares, trigger webhooks when a price drops, or send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n. Call it from any language through the Apify API.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Add this Actor as a tool to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). Your assistant can then search and compare flights on demand.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

Where supported by Apify, agents can use platform payment integrations such as x402 or Skyfire. Availability, authentication and payment setup depend on Apify’s current integration requirements.

FAQ

How accurate is the data? We opened the same search (London → Rome, round trip, Italy, euros) in a browser right after a run: Google Flights listed the same 19 flights in the same order, with identical prices, airlines and departure and arrival times. Fares change quickly, so compare runs made at the same time.

What does the round-trip price mean? Like Google Flights' first step, each outbound flight shows the cheapest round-trip total starting with it; the return flight is not chosen yet.

Are prices per person? No — they are the total for all the passengers you set, as on Google Flights.

Why are some results missing compared with Google Flights? The Actor returns the flights in the results page Google sends. In a browser, Google sometimes adds a few more after the page has loaded: in our checks the Actor returned 19 of 19 flights for one search and 17 of 19 for a family search (2 flights of one airline were added later by the browser) — every flight returned had the same price and times as in the browser. Narrow the search with Stops or airport codes if you need a specific flight.

Can I include children? Yes: Children, Infants in seat and Infants on lap (one per adult), up to 9 passengers in total.

How far ahead can I search? About 11 months (329 days when last measured), the same window as the Google Flights calendar. A search that goes beyond it — counting the return date and the extra days — ends with a message instead of running.

What if one of my routes has a wrong code? The run continues: routes Google Flights recognises are returned and the others are listed in the final status message. If no route is recognised, the run ends with an "Input problem" message and no charge.

Multi-city trips? Not yet — one-way and round trips only.

Is it legal to scrape Google Flights? This Actor only collects publicly available data. Check Google's terms and your local laws before using the data.

Something is broken — what now? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the run link. Include the expected behavior and observed result. Resolution time depends on the cause.
