Proxies for Skyscanner

Airlines, online travel agencies and travel startups use Skyscanner to see how their fares display next to competitors on the same route. As a flight meta-search, Skyscanner shows prices from many airlines and agencies, and the market, currency and language settings change which partners and fares appear. Here is how to research it accurately.

What is different about Skyscanner

How Skyscanner localises, limits and checks traffic, and what that means for your setup.

Market, currency and language

Skyscanner has regional settings for country, language and currency, and the market setting changes which partners appear and what they charge. Match the market to the IP's country and record all three with each fare.

Results fill in over time

A flight search keeps adding prices as partners respond, and some prices are recent cached quotes rather than live ones. Wait until a search finishes, and treat a fare as confirmed only on the partner's own page.

Searches are protected

Fast, repeated searches meet bot challenges. A small set of routes checked on a schedule works far better than wide sweeps.

Partner APIs are gated

Skyscanner offers travel APIs (flight prices, autosuggest and more) to approved partners. If you run a travel product, apply there before collecting pages.

Which proxy fits Skyscanner?

Our recommendation for Skyscanner.

Rotating Residential Proxies

Best fit

Skyscanner's default market and currency follow the visitor's location, and partners can price differently per point of sale. Rotating residential proxies with country targeting show the results a traveller in each market sees, and a sticky session keeps one IP while a search completes.

starting from$0.63/GB

Residential IPs in 190+ countries with country, state and city targeting. Rotate on every request or hold a sticky session for up to 90 minutes; GB never expire.

How to set up proxies for Skyscanner

Every CleanProxies proxy connects over HTTP(S) with the credentials in your dashboard; ISP and ISP subnet proxies also run SOCKS5. Test them with the free proxy checker and convert lists with the proxy list formatter.

  1. 1

    Choose markets and routes

    Pick the points of sale and the routes that matter to you; keep the list short.

  2. 2

    Target each market

    Set a residential session to each market's country and set Skyscanner's market, language and currency to match.

  3. 3

    Hold the session

    Use a sticky session from search to results so the market and currency don't reset while prices load.

  4. 4

    Record the context

    Store route, dates, cabin, passengers, market, currency, partner and price, and note whether the price was confirmed on the partner's page.

Best practices to avoid blocks on Skyscanner

Respect Skyscanner's terms and the law

Skyscanner's terms restrict automated access to its search, and its data is available to approved partners through its APIs. Use proxies for low-volume fare and display research, and respect each airline's and agency's fare rules and terms. CleanProxies customers must follow our Terms of Service and the laws that apply to them; this page is general guidance, not legal advice.

Skyscanner checklist
  • Fix dates, cabin and passenger count for every comparison.
  • Schedule checks a few times a day at most; fares don't need minute-by-minute polling.
  • Wait for the search to finish before you read prices.
  • Clear cookies between markets so saved settings don't carry over.
  • Research only; respect the fare rules and terms of the market you book in.

Skyscanner proxy FAQs

Straight answers about running proxies on Skyscanner.

They can. The market setting changes which airlines and agencies appear and what they quote, and the currency changes how the total is shown. Checking from each market's IP shows the difference.
