## 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 skyscanner-flight-deals-scraper-3f61754e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Skyscanner for the cheapest direct flights from JFK to LHR departing on 2025-08-15 and returning on 2025-08-25, sorted by price, and give me the top 10 deals.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable flight deal data from Skyscanner without building your own scraper. It is ideal when you have a specific Skyscanner route URL or airport pair and need price-sorted or date-filtered deals programmatically. Prefer this over general web scraping tools when you need Skyscanner-specific output fields like priceRaw, direct flag, and booking URLs ready to use.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if Skyscanner route page has no deals matching the date filters
- Null fields in item objects if Skyscanner page structure changes
- Route URL not found or invalid URL provided in startUrls
- Rate limiting or blocking by Skyscanner resulting in empty response
- Invalid airport code or city name causing no results

## 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 deals and an items array, where each item includes the deal ID, tags, direct-flight flag, currency, raw price, formatted price, route URL, and search URL. Failed or empty scrape runs are not billed.
