What data sources does Flight Sweep use?

Flight Sweep aggregates data from the Duffel API for both one-way and round-trip searches, and uses Google Flights data via the fast-flights scraper for one-way searches.

Can I filter results based on my preferences?

Yes, you can configure maximum stops, maximum layover hours, and specific duration options for different legs of your trip.

How does the itinerary scoring system work?

It uses a weighted formula: flight_cost + (hours * $20) + (stops * $200) + (weekdays * $200). These constants are fully customizable in the script configuration.

Do I need any API keys to use this skill?

Yes, a Duffel API key is required for the collection phase to fetch live flight data and pricing.

How are the final flight results presented?

Results are output to the terminal, saved as a JSON results file, and exported as an interactive HTML viewer (flight_sweep_viewer.html) for easy sorting and filtering.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Automates multi-date flight data collection and comprehensive analysis to identify the most efficient and cost-effective travel itineraries.

Flight Sweep is a powerful two-phase pipeline designed for users who need to optimize complex trip planning across flexible dates. It systematically collects flight data from Google Flights and the Duffel API across broad date ranges and trip configurations, caching results to minimize API costs. The analysis engine then applies customizable constraint filters—such as layover duration and stop counts—and utilizes a weighted scoring algorithm to rank the best options. The skill concludes by generating an interactive HTML viewer, transforming raw data into an actionable, sorted report that balances price, travel time, and convenience.
