Scrape flight prices for deals

I can’t scrape websites directly, but I can guide you through how to do it using Python, or recommend tools that help track flight deals.

🛠️ How to Scrape Flight Prices (Python Example)

To scrape flight prices, you can use tools like:

• requests + BeautifulSoup for static pages

• Selenium or Playwright for dynamic/JavaScript-rendered content

Example Using Selenium (Dynamic Pages)

python
CopyEdit
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time

# Set up the Selenium WebDriver (Chrome in this case)
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# URL of the flight search page
url = 'https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=flights%20from%20NYC%20to%20LAX'
driver.get(url)

# Wait for page to load
time.sleep(10)

# Extract flight prices (example selector; may vary by site structure)
prices = driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, '//div[contains(text(), "$")]')

# Display results
for price in prices:
    print(price.text)

driver.quit()

🔐 Notes

• Many flight search engines (Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak) block bots. Scraping may violate their Terms of Service.

• Use official APIs when available, like:

  • Skyscanner API

  • Amadeus API

  • Kiwi API

✅ Alternative: Flight Deal Trackers

If you’re looking for flight deals, consider:

• Google Flights – Use “track prices” option

• Hopper – Predicts when to buy

• Skyscanner

• Scott’s Cheap Flights

• Flight Deal

Let me know your preferred route and dates, and I can suggest specific tools or code to automate that search.
