Data Works vertical - travel & airfare

Airfare and travel-inventory data without the block walls

Airline and OTA pricing is among the most aggressively defended data on the web. Data Works builds, runs and repairs the travel scraper for you - on real dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs - and delivers structured fare data on a flat monthly retainer. Proven on your hardest route or OTA before you commit.

Travel data fights back harder than almost anything else

Airline and OTA pricing endpoints run heavy anti-bot, rapid IP bans, and mobile-app-only fares. The sites are built to detect and punish automated fare collection: an exit IP that queries a few routes too quickly gets banned in waves, and the freshest inventory increasingly lives behind the mobile app rather than the desktop site.

Volume-based scraping APIs handle this badly. They burn credits fast as the target throws blocks and retries - and they still miss the app-only inventory, because a datacenter or generic residential exit is not what a mobile-gated fare endpoint expects to see. You pay for the failed requests either way.

What we deliver

Structured fare and inventory rows, on your schedule - with app-only fares captured via mobile-gated access where legitimate. You scope the fields; we deliver the dataset.

Why carrier IPs matter for travel targets

App and mobile-gated inventory expects a mobile network. A real 4G/5G carrier IP is the natural fit: it is the same class of connection the airline's own app traffic arrives on, so it reads as a genuine traveler, not a farm.

Just as important, the reputation trust survives the ban waves. Travel anti-bot stacks ban on IP reputation before any challenge - and a carrier CGNAT IP is shared with millions of ordinary phone users, so it cannot be blocklisted wholesale without blocking real customers. Datacenter ranges are pre-scored and dead on arrival; residential pools get burned and cycled.

The full mechanism - and why it is not a "bypass anything" trick - is on ouranti-bot page.

Prove it: pilot on your worst route or OTA

No case studies to name-drop yet - so we prove it instead. Point us at your single hardest travel target - the route or OTA your current tool keeps failing on - and we crack it in a paid pilot before you commit to a retainer. You see real extracted fare rows, typically within days of scoping. If we cannot crack it, you do not proceed.

Ongoing work runs as a flat monthly retainer, custom-quoted per project on target difficulty, sources and volume - not per-credit pricing that explodes when the airline fights back. Prefer to run your own scraper? The same carrier IPs are self-serve from $4/GB (down to $2.40 at volume).

Proxy pricing verified July 2026. Retainers are custom-quoted per project via the scoping form.

Honest scope - what we do not do

6 countries, not 195: We operate real modems in 6 countries. If your route coverage needs a country we do not have, we will say so - and point you to a provider with global residential breadth instead of taking your money.

Publicly available data only: We build pipelines for publicly available data and confirm scope and compliance on the scoping call. That framing is the whole engagement - not a loophole.

No auth you do not own: We do not circumvent paid-account authentication you do not hold. If capturing a fare would require breaking into an account or violating authentication that is not yours, we decline the target.

Frequently asked questions

Why do airline and OTA sites keep blocking my scraper?

Airline and OTA pricing is among the most aggressively defended data on the web - heavy anti-bot, rapid IP bans, and mobile-app-only fares. Most stacks block on IP reputation before any challenge, so datacenter and burned residential exits fail on arrival no matter how good your parser is.

Can you capture app-only or mobile-gated fares?

Where the inventory is legitimately mobile-gated, yes - our exit IPs are real 4G/5G carrier connections, which is exactly the network an app-only fare expects to see. We do not circumvent paid-account authentication you do not hold.

What fields do you deliver?

Route, date, fare class, price, seats, carrier, cabin - plus the fields you scope - on your schedule, delivered as JSON, CSV, Google Sheet, webhook, or straight into your DB.

How is this different from a volume-based scraping API?

Volume-based scraping APIs burn credits fast on defended travel targets and still miss the app-only inventory. Data Works is a flat monthly retainer: we build, run and repair the scraper on real carrier IPs, and you receive structured data instead of a credit bill for blocked pages.

How fast do I get the first data?

We start with a paid pilot on your worst route or OTA and typically return real extracted rows within days of scoping - not a multi-week statement-of-work cycle. If we cannot crack it, you do not proceed.

What countries do you cover?

We operate real modems in 6 countries. We are honest about that limit - if your routes need coverage we do not have, we will say so and point you to a provider who has it.

Is this legal?

We build pipelines for publicly available data and expect you to have the right to collect it - we confirm scope and compliance on the scoping call. We decline any target that requires circumventing paid-account auth you do not hold.

Can I just buy the proxies instead?

Yes. The same dedicated 4G/5G carrier IPs are available self-serve from $4/GB (down to $2.40 at volume) if you would rather run your own travel scraper.
