There are many flights and many services that allow you to search for flights. Google offers a free flight booking search service as part of the Google Travel platform.

It allows users to search for flights from various airlines, compare prices, and book tickets. You can search for flights by departure and destination cities, travel dates, and more!

Google Flights aggregates flights from multiple airlines, so you can compare prices and find the best deals. In addition, you can explore destinations, price tracking, and direct booking with Google Flights.

If you want to build or research flight information, scraping Google Flights is a good data source for your project. SerpApi provides high-quality Google Flights APIs.

Head to the Google Flights API from the documentation on SerpApi for details.

Let's find the best flights to Berlin for UEFA Euro 2024 Final Match. The data contains: "total_duration", "price", "type", "number_of_flights", and more. You can also scrape more information with SerpApi.

First, you need to install the SerpApi client library.

pip install google-search-results

Set up the SerpApi credentials and search.

from serpapi import GoogleSearch
import os, json, csv

params = {
    'api_key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',             # your serpapi api
    'engine': 'google_flights',             # SerpApi search engine
    'departure_id': 'AUS',
    'arrival_id': 'BER',
    'outbound_date': '2024-07-10',
    'return_date': '2024-07-15'
}

To retrieve Google Flights Results for a given search query, you can use the following code:

results = GoogleSearch(params).get_dict()['best_flights']

You can store Google Flights Results JSON data in databases or export them to a CSV file.

import csv


header = ["total_duration", "price", "type", "number_of_flights"]

with open("google_flights.csv", "w", encoding="UTF8", newline="") as f:
    writer = csv.writer(f)
    writer.writerow(header)
    for item in results:
        writer.writerow([item.get('total_duration'), item.get('price'), item.get('type'), len(item.get('flights'))])

This example is using Python, but you can also use all your favorite programming languages like Ruby, NodeJS, Java, PHP, and more.
