Google Flights Scraper for Fares, Schedules and Routes

Google Flights Data: Fields in Every Result

A Google Flights scraper starts from a search, not from a product page. A flight has no fixed price there, only a quote for a route, dates, cabin, party size and the market the search comes from, so every row carries the search that produced it next to the flight options listed for it.

• Search - origin and destination airports with their IATA codes, departure and return dates, trip type (round trip, one-way or multi-city), cabin class (Economy, Premium economy, Business, First), adults, children and infants, market and currency.
• Itinerary - departure times and arrival times, the next-day arrival marker, total duration, the number of stops and each layover airport with the length of the connection.
• Segments - airline and flight number for every leg, the operating carrier when another airline flies the aircraft, codeshare flight numbers listed for the same leg, aircraft type and the legroom figure given for the flight.
• Price - the fare for the whole party in the selected currency with taxes and required fees included, and the position of the option under the Best or Cheapest tab.
• Bags - fares recalculated with a carry-on or checked bag when the Bags filter is part of the search, and the note on optional charges that Google prints under the prices.
• Emissions - the estimated carbon emissions of each flight and how that estimate compares with the typical figure for the route.
• Booking options - the airlines and online travel agencies offering the fare with their prices, and a flag for trips sold as separate tickets.
• Price insights - whether current prices read as low, typical or high for the route, and the typical price range Google states for similar trips.

Segments stay linked to their itinerary, so a two-leg connection becomes two rows under one itinerary id, and a codeshare is not counted twice under two airline names.

Google Flights Price Tracker and Price History

Google keeps Tracked flight prices for signed-in visitors. We build the history another way: the same searches repeated on a schedule, each capture saved with its timestamp, so the price tracker becomes a table you own - fare by route, by departure date and by days left before departure.

Several public views go beyond a single search:

• Date grid and price graph - the cheapest fare for each pair of departure and return dates, and the fare trend by week or month, the raw material of flexible-date studies.
• Price calendar - the lowest total price for each day shown in the date picker.
• Route pages - pages such as flights from New York to London print the cheapest round-trip, one-way, nonstop, business class and last-minute weekend fares, the fastest flight time, the cheapest and dearest months with typical prices based on fares observed in the last 12 months, and each airline's weekly nonstop and connecting flights with the airports it uses and the days it operates.
• Explore - a map of destinations from one origin with the cheapest fare to each, for set dates or flexible ones such as a weekend or a one-week trip in the next six months, filtered by stops, price, airlines, duration and bags.

Run on a schedule, route pages add historical data on typical fares and airline frequency to the fare snapshots.
