Ryanair BestPrice Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes flight data from Ryanair.com to monitor fares and track pricing trends. It's built for extracting flight details at scale, suitable for building price comparison tools, travel analytics, or automating fare research.

Overview

This actor programmatically queries Ryanair's website and returns structured data for flights, including pricing, airport details, and schedules. It handles both outbound and inbound flight legs, providing a consolidated summary for a trip. The output is designed for integration into applications that need to track flight prices over time or analyze airline pricing data.

Key Features

• Extract flight prices and details: Retrieves fare information, departure/arrival times, airport data (IATA code, city, country), and flight numbers.
• Track fare trends: Captures price update timestamps and can be run periodically to monitor fluctuations.
• Comprehensive flight data: Returns detailed segments for multi-leg journeys and a complete trip summary, including total price and trip duration.
• Structured JSON output: Data is returned in a consistent, machine-readable format ready for processing or storage.

How to Use

Run the actor on the Apify platform. You need to provide search parameters as input, typically via a structured JSON object. Common parameters include departure airport, arrival airport, and dates for outbound and inbound flights. Configure the actor run according to your scheduling or immediate scraping needs.

Input/Output

Input: The actor expects input configuration specifying the flight search criteria (e.g., routes and dates).

Output: The actor returns a JSON object containing outbound and inbound flight objects, plus a summary. Each flight object includes detailed airport information, dates, pricing breakdown, flight identifiers, and a timestamp for the price data.
