# Find the cheapest days to fly on any route (Google Flights)

**Use case:** 

Prices every departure date over the next 60 days on Google Flights and returns the cheapest fare of each day, with the airline, flight numbers, stops, duration and Google's price level, plus a flag on the cheapest date. Round trips keep the same trip length. Swap in your own route, trip length, currency and country, or schedule it to watch a route.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Google Flights Scraper API ✈️ (flight prices, cheapest dates)](https://apify.com/tagadanar/google-flights-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/tagadanar/google-flights-scraper.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tagadanar/google-flights-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
