fast-flights is a Python library that scrapes Google Flights by generating Base64-encoded Protobuf query strings, returning strongly-typed flight search results. It supports filters for stops, airlines, times, layovers, price, and bags, with optional proxy integrations like Bright Data and Playwright fallback.

Use cases

• scrape flight prices from google flights
• search flights between two airports in python
• get cheapest flight options for a date
• monitor flight prices programmatically
• filter flights by stops airlines and departure time
• build a travel price alert tool

When to choose

• you need programmatic access to Google Flights data without an official API key
• you want typed Python objects for flight queries and results
• you need fine-grained filters like layover duration, airlines, or max price

When to avoid

• you need a guaranteed SLA or commercial-grade API reliability
• you cannot tolerate breakage when Google changes its internal protobuf format
• you need data sources other than Google Flights
