Google Travel Explore Flights API
SerpApi is able to scrape, extract, and make sense of Google Travel Explore Flights, they are parsed and exist within the flights array in the JSON output. Flight details can contain departure_airport, arrival_airport, duration, price, airline, and more.
API Parameters
arrival_id
Required
Parameter defines the arrival airport code or city location kgmid.
An airport code is an uppercase 3-letter code. You can search for it on Google Flights or IATA.
For example, CDG is Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and AUS is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
A location kgmid is a string that starts with /m/. You can search for a location on Wikidata and use its "Freebase ID" as the location kgmid. For example, /m/0vzm is the location kgmid for Austin, TX.
