## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Google Flights Search Scraper

Search Google Flights one-way and round-trip fares for travel pricing, route monitoring, flight comparison, and airfare research workflows. The actor wraps Scrappa's `/api/flights/one-way` and `/api/flights/round-trip` endpoints and writes one Apify dataset item per returned flight result.

### What you get

- One-way and round-trip Google Flights search results
- Price, currency, total duration, stop count, airlines, flight numbers, airport codes, departure and arrival times
- Full leg details for every itinerary
- Booking tokens when returned by Google Flights
- Search metadata and the full Scrappa response in key-value store record `OUTPUT`
- Optional baggage enrichment for the cheapest returned flight

### Input

```json
{
  "trip_type": "round_trip",
  "origin": "JFK",
  "destination": "LAX",
  "departure_date": "2026-09-15",
  "return_date": "2026-09-22",
  "adults": 1,
  "cabin_class": "economy",
  "max_stops": "one_or_fewer",
  "sort_by": "cheapest",
  "currency": "USD",
  "hl": "en",
  "gl": "us"
}
````

For one-way searches, set `trip_type` to `one_way` and omit `return_date`.

### Output

Each dataset item is one flight option:

```json
{
  "position": 1,
  "trip_type": "round_trip",
  "price": 326,
  "currency": "USD",
  "total_duration_minutes": 374,
  "stops": 0,
  "airline_names": ["Delta"],
  "flight_numbers": ["DL123"],
  "departure_airport": "JFK",
  "arrival_airport": "LAX",
  "departure_time": "2026-09-15T08:00:00",
  "arrival_time": "2026-09-15T11:14:00",
  "booking_token": "Cg0I...",
  "legs": [],
  "request_origin": "JFK",
  "request_destination": "LAX",
  "request_departure_date": "2026-09-15",
  "request_return_date": "2026-09-22"
}
```

### Pricing

This actor is intended for paid pay-per-event monetization with the `flight-result` event, so users pay only for saved flight result rows. If Apify requires a different marketplace model during publication, use the closest paid usage-aligned model and verify pricing through the Apify API before making the actor public.

For higher-volume Google Flights data extraction or direct API access, use Scrappa's Google Flights API at `https://scrappa.co/api/flights/one-way` and `https://scrappa.co/api/flights/round-trip`.
