Google Flights Scraper & API: prices, airlines and times

Google Flights Scraper is an Apify Actor that returns Google Flights results for any route and date: price, airlines, flight numbers, departure and arrival times, duration, stops and layovers, aircraft, legroom and CO2 emissions, one way or round trip, any cabin, passengers and currency, at $0.20 per 1,000 flights.

Price: $0.20 per 1,000 flights ($0.16 on Gold and above) · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/google-flights-scraper · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/google-flights-scraper/

Quick facts

• One row per flight: price, airlines, flight numbers, times, duration, stops, layovers, legs with aircraft and legroom, CO2 vs typical.
• One way or round trip, economy to first, 1–9 adults, nonstop filter, any currency.
• Airport codes or city names; many routes per run.
• Price: $0.20 per 1,000 flights (a search costs under a cent).
• Migrating from the Amadeus Self-Service API? The open-source amadeus-cloud package (github.com/retracn/amadeus-cloud) keeps the Amadeus Node SDK's flightOffersSearch.get/post and returns Amadeus-shaped offers from this Actor.
• Fare alerts: with Only fare drops on, a scheduled run saves a route's flights only when its cheapest fare is lower than on the previous run, with that previous price on every row; Max price adds a threshold such as "under $900".

Example input

{
  "origin": "JFK",
  "destination": "LHR",
  "departureDate": "2026-11-12"
}

Flight price alerts (fare drops)

Schedule a search with "onlyPriceDrops": true: each run saves the route's flights only when its cheapest fare is lower than on the previous run, with previousCheapestPrice on every row. Add "maxPrice": 900 for a threshold alert. The first run saves everything (change: "first_check"); a run with no drop saves nothing.

{ "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "departureDate": "2026-12-18", "returnDate": "2027-01-03", "maxPrice": 900, "onlyPriceDrops": true }
