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](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) 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>`.
