Capabilities

Complete Air India flight data extraction

Our Air India scraper navigates complex booking flows, handles dynamic pricing updates, and bypasses airline anti-bot systems to deliver accurate schedule and fare data.

Route & Schedule Mapping

Extract origin, destination, departure times, arrival times, and aircraft equipment across the entire Air India network.

Real-Time Fare Tracking

Capture base fares, taxes, surcharges, and total prices across multiple currencies and passenger types.

Multi-Cabin Pricing

Extract distinct pricing and availability for Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and First Class cabins.

Code-Share Identification

Identify flights operated by Star Alliance partners but marketed under Air India flight numbers.

Seat Availability Metrics

Monitor remaining seat counts per booking class to estimate load factors and demand curves.

Baggage Policy Extraction

Capture check-in and cabin baggage allowances mapped to specific fare families and routes.

Multi-City & Connecting Flights

Extract complex itineraries including layover durations, terminal changes, and minimum connection times.

Aircraft & Fleet Data

Track assigned aircraft types for specific routes to monitor fleet deployment and capacity changes.

Tax & Surcharge Breakdown

Isolate base fare from YQ surcharges, airport taxes, and government fees for accurate pricing analysis.

Scheduled + Streaming Modes

Run daily network-wide schedule syncs or high-frequency polling on specific high-value routes.

Under the hood

Bypassing airline bot protection

Airlines deploy aggressive anti-scraping measures. Here is how we maintain stable extraction pipelines for Air India.

alerts
Anti-bot layer
Akamai and Cloudflare bypass

Air India uses enterprise bot protection to block automated traffic. We route requests through residential proxies and spoof TLS fingerprints to ensure high success rates.

Booking flow execution
Stateful session management

Flight searches require maintaining state across multiple steps: selecting dates, passengers, and cabins. We use Playwright to execute these flows exactly like a human user.

Dynamic content
JavaScript rendering for pricing

Fares and seat availability are loaded dynamically via API calls after the initial page load. Our infrastructure captures these network payloads directly.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what changed

We maintain a hash index of last-seen fares per route. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Monitoring & alerting
24/7 pipeline health

Every run emits structured logs. We alert on null-rate spikes, missing routes, and schema drift, responding before you notice.

Common questions.

About airindia.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Air India legal?

Scraping publicly available flight schedules and pricing data is generally permissible. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated information. We do not extract personal PNR data or circumvent authentication walls. Clients should review applicable terms and consult legal counsel.

How do you handle Air India bot protection?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic TLS fingerprints, and stateful session management to navigate the booking flow reliably.

Can you extract multi-city itineraries?

Yes. Our pipeline supports complex routing, capturing layover durations, terminal changes, and combined fare rules for multi-leg journeys.

How fresh is the pricing data?

We configure pipeline cadence based on your requirements. High-priority routes can be polled hourly, while full network schedule syncs typically run daily.

Do you extract data for all cabin classes?

Yes. We extract separate pricing, availability, and fare rules for Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and First Class where available on the route.

Can you separate base fare from taxes?

Yes. We parse the fare breakdown to isolate base fare, YQ surcharges, airport taxes, and other fees into distinct structured fields.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our smallest packages start at a defined list of 500 origin-destination pairs with daily delivery. Contact us with your route list for a scoped quote.
