SearchAPI.io - Google Flights Calendar API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-google-flights-calendar on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

The Google Flights Calendar API provides a comprehensive calendar view of flight prices across different dates, helping you find the most affordable travel dates for your trip. This API returns a calendar grid showing flight prices for various date combinations within a specified date range. For round-trip searches, it shows prices for different outbound and return date combinations. For one-way searches, it shows prices for different outbound dates only. Cross-linking: The departure_id and arrival_id parameters accept airport codes (e.g., “JFK”, “LAX”) or city codes (e.g., “/m/02_286” for New York). These IDs can be discovered using the Google Flights Location Search API.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google-flights-calendar prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-google-flights-calendar","input":{"departure_id":"<departure_id>","arrival_id":"<arrival_id>","outbound_date":"<outbound_date>","engine":"google_flights_calendar"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
