Monitor fare changes and hotel rate fluctuations. For example, scrape flight prices daily for a popular route to detect trends or set up alerts when prices drop below a threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Kayak Scraper API

Do I need an API key for Kayak?

Kayak doesn’t offer a public API for this data. Our solution scrapes the information from Kayak’s website on your behalf. No official API key is required, but using our service ensures you get structured data without being blocked.

Can I specify cabin class or filters (e.g., non-stop only) for flights?

Yes. Our flight search supports additional parameters like cabin_class (economy, business, etc.) and a flag for non_stop. You can refine searches to match your needs, similar to using filters on the Kayak site.

How quickly is the data updated?

Results are fetched live when you make the request. Prices and availability can change rapidly, so each query retrieves the latest information from Kayak at that moment. It’s effectively real-time data.
