Ctrip Domestic Flight Search

Search domestic flight tickets via Ctrip's API. Provides real-time flight information including prices, airlines, schedules, aircraft types, and low-price calendars.

Prerequisites

Install the required Python package before first use:

pip install quickjs

The skill also requires the _extract/c-sign.js file bundled in the scripts/ directory.

Usage

Run the search script located at scripts/ctrip_flight.py. Both departure and arrival support city names, IATA codes, or province names. When a province is specified, all airports in that province are queried and compared automatically.

python3 scripts/ctrip_flight.py 北京 上海 2026-04-02 --md
python3 scripts/ctrip_flight.py 北京 广东 2026-04-02 --md
python3 scripts/ctrip_flight.py 浙江 云南 2026-04-05 --json

Parameters:

Arg 1: departure — city name, IATA code, or province name
Arg 2: arrival — city name, IATA code, or province name
Arg 3: departure date in YYYY-MM-DD format
Arg 4 (optional): cabin — Y = Economy (default), C = Business, F = First
--json or -j: output structured JSON
--md or -m: output Markdown tables (default)

When a province is given (e.g. "广东"), the script queries all airport cities in that province (广州, 深圳, 珠海), compares prices across routes, and recommends the cheapest option.

Examples:

python3 scripts/ctrip_flight.py 北京 上海 2026-04-02
python3 scripts/ctrip_flight.py 广州 成都 2026-04-05 C

Programmatic Usage

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "path/to/ctrip-flight/scripts")
from ctrip_flight import search_to_region, to_json, to_markdown

# Single city or province query — province auto-expands to all airports
result = search_to_region("北京", "广东", "2026-04-02")

# result contains:
#   query.isMultiRoute  — True if province was used
#   routeSummaries      — per-route lowest price comparison
#   bestRoute           — the cheapest route overall
#   allFlights          — combined flight list from all routes

md = to_markdown(result)
js = to_json(result)

Output

Two output formats are supported:

JSON (--json): Structured JSON with query, summary, directFlights, transferFlights, and lowPriceCalendar fields. Ideal for downstream processing.

How It Works

The skill reverse-engineered Ctrip's anti-crawl protections:

sign header: MD5(transactionID + cityCode + cityCode + date)
w-payload-source header: Ctrip's c-sign.js executed via QuickJS engine
FVP cookie: Extracted from server-rendered HTML page
token header: Not required (discovered via testing)
