Fetch Flight Data

Source: R/fa_fetch_flights.R
fa_fetch_flights.Rd

Fetches flight data from Google Flights using chromote. This function will automatically set up a Chrome browser connection, navigate to Google Flights URLs, and extract flight information. Uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol for reliable, driver-free browser automation. The browser runs in headless mode by default (no visible GUI).

Usage

fa_fetch_flights(queries, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

queries

A flight query object or list of query objects (from fa_define_query())

verbose

Logical. If TRUE, shows detailed progress information (default)

Value

A flight_results object containing the merged flight data. Access the data via `result$data`. **Important:** You must capture the return value to get the flight data: `result <- fa_fetch_flights(query)`

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
query <- fa_define_query("NYC", "IST", "2025-12-20", "2025-12-22")
flights <- fa_fetch_flights(query)
flights$data
} # }
