Price insight: low. $170 under Google's typical $640–820.
The problem
Fare tracking means watching a route over many dates, not checking one search. You need the price for every departure date, then the full itinerary and its sellers when a fare drops.
Google Flights has the most complete picture, but it is built for people clicking, one leg at a time. The API turns each step into a request with a token that carries the search to the next one.
Workflow
Get the cheapest price for each date on a route, so you can find the low days before searching any of them.
POST /v1/serp/google_flights_calendarSearch one-way or round trip with filters for stops, airlines, bags, cabin and maximum price. The answer includes Google's price insights.
POST /v1/serp/google_flightsPass the chosen outbound's departure token to get its return options. Prices stay whole-trip.
POST /v1/serp/google_flights_returnSee who sells the itinerary and for how much, airline-direct or not, with fare families and bag fees.

Yes. Departure and arrival accept IATA airport codes such as YUL, or city codes such as NYC, LON and PAR, which search every airport in the city.
Yes. On a round trip, the price Google shows already includes the return, and it stays whole-trip when you pick the return leg.
No. A search that returns no flights is free at every step, and so is any failed request.
When you send carry-on or checked bag counts, Google adds the bag fees to the price, and the booking options list them per seller.
