Google Flights Scraper

Search Google Flights and get structured fare data — prices, airlines, stops, departure and arrival times, total flight duration, layovers, aircraft type, and CO2 estimates — for any route and date. One-way or round-trip, a single route or a whole batch, in one run.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key required
• Real fares straight from Google Flights, in the currency you choose
• Full itinerary detail: every leg's airports, times, duration, and aircraft
• Layover airports and layover durations for connecting flights
• CO2 emission estimate per itinerary (and the typical figure for the route)
• One-way and round-trip searches, plus batch mode for many routes at once
• Stable JSON output ready for pipelines, spreadsheets, or databases

How it works

1. You give the actor a route and date — an origin airport, a destination airport, and a departure date (add a return date for a round trip). Or paste a list of routes to search many at once.
2. Pick your options: cabin class, maximum stops, number of passengers, and currency.
3. The actor searches Google Flights and returns every matching itinerary with its price, airlines, stops, times, duration, layovers, and aircraft.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You do not manage any browsers, logins, or scrapers — just describe the trip and read the results.

Note: for round-trip searches, the price is the total round-trip fare and the itinerary shown is the outbound journey (this is exactly how Google Flights presents the first step of a round-trip search).

Notes and limits

• Prices and availability are what Google shows at scrape time and can change quickly.
• Round-trip results show outbound itineraries priced at the round-trip total.
• Multi-city trips are not supported.
• Google serves flight data only to residential-grade traffic at any volume; keep the Residential proxy enabled for reliable runs.
