Call the Google flights API and get JSON back in one request. 1 credit per call. Failed calls cost nothing. Searches flights with prices and times. ## Request `origin`, `destination` and `departDate` are required. ```typescript TypeScript icon="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/sirathic/images/icons/typescript.svg" theme={null} theme={null} import { Stophy } from "stophy"; const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY }); const result = await stophy.google.flights({ origin: "JFK", destination: "LAX", departDate: "2026-11-19" }); console.log(result.data.results); ``` ```python Python icon="python" theme={null} theme={null} from stophy import Stophy stophy = Stophy() # reads STOPHY_API_KEY result = stophy.google.flights(origin="JFK", destination="LAX", depart_date="2026-11-19") print(result["data"]["results"]) ``` ```bash cURL icon="terminal" theme={null} theme={null} curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/google/flights \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"origin":"JFK","destination":"LAX","departDate":"2026-11-19"}' ``` ```bash CLI icon="square-terminal" theme={null} theme={null} stophy google flights --origin JFK --destination LAX --departDate 2026-11-19 ``` ## Response If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. `data.results[]` contains the flight options, each with its price, airlines, stops, times and legs. The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut. ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "data": { "cabin": "economy", "tripType": "oneWay", "adults": 1, "results": [ { "isBest": true, "price": 139, "priceCurrency": "USD", "airlines": ["JetBlue"], "stops": 1, "durationSeconds": 40440, "departureLocalTime": "2026-11-19T15:45", "arrivalLocalTime": "2026-11-19T23:59", "legs": [ { "flightNumber": "B6 618", "airline": "JetBlue", "originCode": "JFK", "originName": "John F.

Requests that fail, or that return no items, are not billed. ## Pagination This method is not paginated. A single request returns the complete result. ## Related methods * [Google Hotels](/api-reference/endpoint/google-hotels): Accepts a leg's `destinationName` as `query`. Searches Google Hotels with prices, ratings and Google's own filters. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json POST /v1/google/flights openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Stophy API version: '1' description: >- Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/google/flights: post: summary: Search flights with prices and times description: Costs 1 credit per call. operationId: googleFlights requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: origin: type: string pattern: ^[A-Za-z]{3}$ description: IATA airport code, e.g. JFK.
