Automate Kayak

Turn the repetitive Kayak work you do by hand (search a route and dates, read fares) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing Kayak by hand

The Kayak tasks you repeat (search a route and dates, read fares, compare options) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Kayak has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Kayak provides no general public API for fare search results.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Kayak task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Kayak tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Kayak action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search a route and dates
{ }read fares
{ }compare options
{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as flight fare, airline, layovers, hotel rate along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Kayak automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the Kayak task once in a real browser (search a route and dates, then read fares) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Kayak in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch Kayak's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Kayak

The reason Kayak is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Kayak fare results are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture prices that populate as the metasearch completes.

Run the Kayak automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the Kayak task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch Kayak for fare drop or new lower option and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Kayak workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Kayak changes. It runs on your own Kayak account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/kayak/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Kayak automation too.

Trigger the Kayak automation on a change

Monitor Kayak for fare drop, new lower option, price-trend change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Kayak automation in seconds. Monitor Kayak ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Kayak even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.

The same Kayak automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Kayak for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/kayak/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Kayak task too.

Automating Kayak: questions

How do I automate Kayak?
Record the Kayak task once in the recorder (search a route and dates, read fares, compare options) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Kayak account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Kayak this way?
Collect Kayak data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Kayak automation work behind login and 2FA?
Kayak fare results are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture prices that populate as the metasearch completes. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Kayak session.
Can I run the Kayak automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Kayak is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
