Google Flights Scraper

✈️ Google Flights Scraper

Search the public Google Flights results page for one-way and round-trip itineraries. One run gives you prices, airlines, departure and arrival times, stops, layovers, aircraft and carbon estimates for a route and date, as structured JSON.

A search is a single $0.019 result, no matter how many itineraries it returns, and it finished in under 10 seconds in our tests.

💰 Pricing

A search that returns itineraries costs one result event of $0.019. An unknown airport returns no rows and is not charged. Platform usage (compute at $0.30 per GB-hour and datacenter proxy at $1 per GB) is billed separately.

Worked example: a one-route search is a single result, so it costs $0.019 plus a small amount of compute. In our test a non-owner run totaled about $0.022.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Google Flights? The actor reads the public results page only. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable law and Google's terms.

Do I need a login or my own proxy? No. Proxies are included, and datacenter is enough for this page.

Why does a round trip show only outbound flights? Google's results page lists outbound choices first, with the round-trip price on each row. Choosing a return is a second page.

What if the airport code is wrong? The run finishes with no rows and no charge.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule a daily run per route to build a price history.

⚠️ Limits

• One route per run (several airports can be listed in the From and To fields).
• Itineraries come from the first results page Google renders, so a search returns at most what that page lists.
• Booking-option lookups for every fare brand and multi-city trips are not included.
• Prices depend on the country, currency and date you choose and can change between runs.
