FAQ

Is scraping this information legal?

Rules depend on the source, location, data type, and intended use. Check applicable laws and source terms, and make sure your workflow follows privacy and data protection requirements.

What limits apply?

Submit up to 100 batch entries per run. Use maxResults to cap saved items. Results also depend on source availability and your Scrappa API plan.

Can I start runs through the Apify API?

Yes. Send a POST request to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/thescrappa~google-flights-date-range-scraper/runs with your Actor input, or use an Apify client library. Read the output from the run dataset.

Can I connect the results to other tools?

Yes. Apify integrations and APIs can pass dataset results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, and other data workflows.

What happens when one input fails?

The Actor logs a short source error and continues with the remaining entries. Transient rate limits and gateway errors are retried; if every entry fails, the run reports an error.

Does the Actor return every date in the selected range?

This version returns the cheapest starting option for the start date. Request the next departure date separately to continue a date-range search.
