Google Flights fare scraper in n8n
Search Google Flights for one-way or round-trip fares across any cabin class, then narrow results by stops, total duration, airline, and price range, with an optional price-alert flag.
What this workflow does
Import it and n8n runs the Google Flights Fare & Itinerary Filter Scraper Actor on Apify every day at 08:00 with the starter input below. Each row comes back with price, currency, airline, departure airport and 8 more. A Google Sheets append is included and stays off until you add your sheet. The only credential it needs is your Apify API token.

Do I need an Apify account?
Yes. The workflow calls the Google Flights Fare & Itinerary Filter Scraper Actor through the Apify API with your own token, and each run is billed to your Apify account. The Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.
What does a run cost?
Each run starts at $0.40 on the Free plan (4 GB of memory), then $0.99 per 1,000 results, plus platform usage. The Actor's Store page shows the current price.
Can I change what it collects?
Yes: edit the input object in the Configure input node. The Actor takes 30 settings; the table on this page lists each one with its default. Raise maxResults once the first rows look right.
