## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Flight Award Mileage Chart Scraper

Compare published award redemption rates between world regions across major airline loyalty programs. This actor returns static chart values from public mileage-chart sources - not live seat availability.

### What you get

Each row is a published chart rate, for example:

```json
{
  "recordType": "mileage_chart",
  "issuer": "aeroplan",
  "issuerName": "Air Canada Aeroplan",
  "originRegion": "north_america",
  "destinationRegion": "europe",
  "cabin": "business",
  "miles": 70000,
  "milesOneWay": 35000,
  "isPartner": false,
  "milesNote": "Distance band: Atlantic Zone (NA <-> Europe)",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.aircanada.com/.../aeroplan-flight-reward-chart.html",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-04-30T14:00:00+00:00"
}
```

Empty fields are omitted.

### Supported issuers

Currently implemented:

- `aeroplan`
- `alaska`
- `american`
- `anaMileage`
- `britishAirways`
- `emirates`
- `flyingBlue`
- `lifemiles`
- `lufthansa`
- `qatar`
- `singaporeKrisflyer`
- `united`
- `virginAtlantic`

Accepted in the input schema but not yet implemented:

- `aeromexico`
- `azul`
- `copa`
- `delta`
- `etihad`
- `finnair`
- `jal`
- `qantas`
- `sas`
- `turkishMilesAndSmiles`

If you include an unsupported issuer, the actor skips it cleanly and emits no placeholder rows for it.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `originRegion` | enum | `north_america` |
| `destinationRegion` | enum | `europe` |
| `cabin` | enum | `business` |
| `issuers` | array | 13 implemented issuers preselected |
| `oneWay` | boolean | `false` |
| `partnerOnly` | boolean | `false` |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "originRegion": "north_america",
  "destinationRegion": "europe",
  "cabin": "business",
  "oneWay": true,
  "partnerOnly": true,
  "issuers": ["aeroplan", "united", "virginAtlantic"]
}
```

### Output fields

- `issuer`, `issuerName`
- `originRegion`, `destinationRegion`
- `cabin`
- `miles`, `milesOneWay`
- `isPartner`, `partnerName`
- `milesNote`
- `taxes_min_usd`, `taxes_max_usd`
- `sourceUrl`
- `scrapedAt`

### FAQ

**Is this live award availability?**\
No. It is the published mileage chart.

**Why did some selected issuers return no rows?**\
Some issuers are still exposed in the input schema before their adapter is implemented. Those issuers are skipped cleanly for now.

**Why include `sourceUrl`?**\
Each row carries the publisher page used for that chart so you can verify the rate against the airline's public source.

**What happens with `partnerOnly=true`?**\
The actor keeps only partner-redemption rows when a program publishes a distinct partner rate.

# Actor input Schema

## `originRegion` (type: `string`):

Region the trip departs from. The chart returns redemption rates between origin and destination regions.

## `destinationRegion` (type: `string`):

Region the trip ends in.

## `cabin` (type: `string`):

Filter the published rates by cabin class.

## `issuers` (type: `array`):

Which frequent-flyer programs to query. Order matters — earlier issuers run first.

## `oneWay` (type: `boolean`):

Return one-way award rates instead of roundtrip. Roundtrip is the default for charts that publish in both formats.

## `partnerOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Only return partner-redemption rates (i.e. flying on a partner airline, not the issuer's own metal).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on emitted chart rows.
