The Google Flights API searches flights and returns clean, structured JSON. Each page of results comes back with the top recommended flights and alternatives, full flight legs and timings, prices, price insights (level and historical range), airport details, and search metadata. It supports one-way, round-trip, and multi-city itineraries, single or multiple airports, filters for price, stops, airlines, and passenger counts, and can optionally resolve direct airline and OTA booking links. Localized across 29+ languages and 39+ countries.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• An Apify account and API key (get a free key here)

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/johnisanerd/Apify-Google-Flights-API.git
   cd Apify-Google-Flights-API

1. Install dependencies with UV

# Install UV if you do not have it:
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

   # Install project dependencies:
   uv sync

1. Configure your API key

cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env and add your Apify API key
   # Get your free API key at: https://apify.com?fpr=9n7kx3

1. Run the example

uv run python google-flights-api.py

This repo also includes google-flights-get-booking-options.py, a low-cost one-way example (BOS to PQI) that enables fetchbookingoptions to resolve direct airline and OTA booking links:

uv run python google-flights-get-booking-options.py

Alternative: set the API key directly

export APIFY_API_TOKEN="your_api_key_here"
uv run python google-flights-api.py

Why Use This Google Flights API?

Complete itineraries. Search one-way, round-trip, and multi-city trips, with single or multiple departure and arrival airports, and get the top recommended flights plus alternatives with full leg-by-leg detail.

Direct booking links. Enable fetchbookingoptions and each flight resolves to a live booking URL on the airline or OTA site, with fare families and baggage fees, ready to embed in your app.

Powerful filters. Constrain by max price, max stops, preferred airlines, passenger counts, and exclude basic economy.

Price intelligence. Every search returns price insights: the current level (low, typical, high) and a historical price range for the route.

Predictable, pay-per-use pricing. Billing is per page processed, plus per resolved booking link only when you ask for them. No subscription. You control cost with the page limit.

Easy to automate. Call it from Python in a few lines, or load it as an MCP tool so assistants like Claude and Cursor can search flights for you on demand.
