Actor - Ryanair Scraper

Ryanair scraper

Since Ryanair doesn't provide a good API, this actor should help you to retrieve data from it.

The Ryanair data scraper supports the following features:

• Scrape round trip - you can scrape a complete round trip with departure and return dates.
• Scrape one-way trip - you can scrape a one way trip by just providing the departure date
• Scrape with multiple people options - You can scrape Ryanair with Adults, Teens, Children, and Infants options

Input Parameters

The input of this scraper should be JSON-containing. Possible fields are:

• mode: (Required) (String) Mode for the actor. It can be either ROUND for Round trip or ONEWAY for One-way trips.

• origin: (Required) (String) 3-letter destination airport code. Ex: VIE.

• destination: (Required) (String) Mode for the actor. It can be either ROUND for Round trip or ONEWAY for One-way trips.

• departureDate: (Required) (String) Date for departure. Should be in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. Ex: 2021-02-21.

• returnDate: (Optional) (String) Date for return. It is required for Round trips. Should be in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. Ex: 2021-02-21.

• adults: (Required) (Number) Number of adults that will be included on the flight. The minimum number is 1.

• teens: (Optional) (Number) Number of teens (12-15 years old) that will be included on the flight.

• children: (Optional) (Number) Number of children (2-11 years old) that will be included on the flight.

• infants: (Optional) (Number) Number of teens (Under 2 years old) that will be included on the flight.

• maxItems: (Optional) (Number) You can limit scraped items. This should be useful when you search through the big lists or search results.

• proxy: (Required) (Proxy Object) Proxy configuration.

This solution requires the use of Proxy servers, either your own proxy servers or you can use Apify Proxy.

Compute Unit Consumption

The actor is optimized to run in a very fast manner and scrape the flights in the most performant way. Therefore, it forefronts all flight result requests. If the actor doesn't block very often it'll scrape 10 flights in 3 seconds with ~0.005-0.01 compute units.

During the Run

During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count.

If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with a failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong.

Ryanair Export

During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset.

You can manage the results in any language (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API reference to learn more about getting results from this Ryanair actor.
