Example broken?

[pete-mcneill]

Trying this based on the example and reading through issues.

`
from pprint import pprint

from fast_flights import FlightQuery, Passengers, create_query, get_flights
from fast_flights.integrations import BrightData

query = create_query(
flights=[
FlightQuery(
date="2026-02-16",
from_airport="MYJ",
to_airport="TPE",
),
],
seat="economy",
trip="one-way",
passengers=Passengers(adults=1),
language="zh-TW",
)
res = get_flights(query)
pprint(res)
`

I get this error:

Impersonate 'chrome_133' does not exist, using 'random' Traceback (most recent call last): File ".venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/fast_flights/fetcher.py", line 61, in get_flights return parse(html) File ".venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/fast_flights/parser.py", line 25, in parse return parse_js(script.text()) ^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

Hi @pete-mcneill! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the flights team.

This error occurs when Google Flights' HTML structure doesn't match what the parser expects—the script tag selector returns None, causing the AttributeError. The chrome_133 warning indicates the browser impersonation library is falling back to random fingerprints, which can contribute to inconsistent responses from Google.

This is a known issue since Google periodically changes its HTML structure. PR #98 addresses related parsing robustness but hasn't been merged yet.

Workaround: Try using fetch_mode="local" which uses local Playwright and tends to be more reliable:

res = get_flights(query, fetch_mode="local")

This requires Playwright to be installed (pip install playwright && playwright install).

To reply, just mention @dosu.

I'm guessing this is on stable version and not release candidate? AS RC doesn't appear to have a fetch_mode argument

[AWeirdDev]

yeah. im not quite sure why that happens, im guessing it's because of the query?
did you change the date though? from what i can tell, it couldn't find the javascript code, which is usually caused by bad query.

[pete-mcneill]

Yea, tried a few different dates, also tried removing each param until I was left with just the flights list but still the same error.
