## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aerodatabox-flight-aviation-data-4f657137 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the current status of flight AA 100 today — has it departed, and what's the estimated arrival time?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time aviation data including flight status, airport schedules, or aircraft lookup, especially within an x402 micropayment workflow where per-call pricing is acceptable. Prefer over scraping flight boards or free APIs when accuracy and structured data are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid flight number or registration returns 404 or empty result
- Flights too far in the future may have no live data yet
- Rate limits or payment failures return 402 or 429 errors
- Malformed ICAO/IATA codes return validation errors
- Historical data older than retention window may be unavailable
