## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-flights-scraper-api-2db6bb12 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google Flights for nonstop round-trip flights from LAX to JFK departing on 2025-08-15 and returning on 2025-08-22 for 1 adult in USD, and show me only results under $400.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, queryable flight data from Google Flights without managing a browser or scraping infrastructure yourself. It is ideal for AI agents that need to compare flights, filter by stops or price, or present itinerary options to users. Prefer this over raw web scraping when you want clean JSON output and pay only for successful, non-empty results.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (departure_id, arrival_id, outbound_date) result in a validation error
- Invalid IATA airport codes return empty results or an error
- Past or invalid dates yield no results
- Overly restrictive filters (max_price too low, specific airlines with no service on route) return an empty items array — which is not charged
- Google Flights rate limiting or layout changes may cause scraping failures — not charged if empty

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matched itineraries and an array of flight items, each containing flight ID, trip type, outbound date, arrival and departure airport codes and names, and result category. Only itineraries matching the specified filters (price, stops, airlines) are included.
