## 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

## Google Flights Scraper API — Fares & Multi-City

Query Google Flights from an Apify Actor or AI agent and receive structured visible fare cards for one-way, round-trip, and multi-city itineraries. It is designed for travel-price monitoring, itinerary comparison, metasearch prototypes, and agent workflows that need current fare snapshots.

### What it returns

Each dataset item includes the requested itinerary, visible price and currency, airline text, flight numbers when detected, departure/arrival times, duration, stops, cabin class, the search URL, and extraction warnings. Google Flights is interactive, so a direct booking URL is returned only when Google exposes one; it is otherwise `null`.

### Input examples

Standard round trip:

```json
{ "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LAX", "departureDate": "2026-08-15", "returnDate": "2026-08-22", "tripType": "roundTrip", "maxResults": 20 }
```

Multi-city:

```json
{ "tripType": "multiCity", "multiCityLegs": [
  { "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "date": "2026-08-15" },
  { "origin": "LHR", "destination": "CDG", "date": "2026-08-20" },
  { "origin": "CDG", "destination": "JFK", "date": "2026-08-27" }
] }
```

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---:|
| Actor start | $0.00005 |
| Fare record | $0.01 |

The actor stops emitting after `maxResults`. Residential proxy traffic is enabled by default and is billed separately by Apify according to the account’s proxy rates.

### Reliability and limitations

Google may show regional availability, consent screens, rate limits, or bot-detection pages. The actor preserves a diagnostic `OUTPUT` object and returns a successful warning state instead of pretending that an empty challenge page is a no-results search. Visible fare cards are snapshots and can change before booking; validate final availability, baggage rules, taxes, and booking terms with the airline or travel provider.

### Legal note

Use this actor responsibly and comply with Google’s terms, applicable law, and any relevant airline or travel-provider terms. Do not use it to misrepresent prices or bypass access controls.

# Actor input Schema

## `origin` (type: `string`):

Use this when searching a standard route. Enter a three-letter IATA airport code, for example JFK. Not used for multi-city searches.

## `destination` (type: `string`):

Use this when searching a standard route. Enter a three-letter IATA airport code, for example LAX. Not used for multi-city searches.

## `departureDate` (type: `string`):

Use this for the first flight date in YYYY-MM-DD format, for example 2026-08-15.

## `returnDate` (type: `string`):

Use this for a round-trip return date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Leave empty for one-way or multi-city.

## `tripType` (type: `string`):

Use this to select the itinerary shape. Multi-city requires multiCityLegs.

## `multiCityLegs` (type: `array`):

Use this for two to six sequential legs. Each object needs origin, destination, and date, for example \[{"origin":"JFK","destination":"LHR","date":"2026-08-15"}].

## `adults` (type: `integer`):

Use this to set the number of adult passengers. Default is 1.

## `children` (type: `integer`):

Use this to set the number of child passengers. Default is 0.

## `cabinClass` (type: `string`):

Use this to filter the requested cabin class. This is not a guarantee that every fare card has the same booking class.

## `currency` (type: `string`):

Use this to request a three-letter ISO currency code, for example USD, EUR, or GBP.

## `nonStop` (type: `boolean`):

Use this to request nonstop options on standard one-way or round-trip searches.

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

Use this to cap returned fare records and control runtime and cost. Default is 20.

## `useResidentialProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Use this to improve access reliability for Google Flights. Residential proxy usage may increase Apify runtime cost.

## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`):

Use this to choose the two-letter residential proxy country, for example US. Only applies when useResidentialProxy is true.

## `includeRawText` (type: `boolean`):

Use this when debugging or preserving the visible Google Flights fare-card text. Set false for the leanest output.
