## 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 airport-lookup-by-iata-or-icao-code-2f9eb60c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What airport is JFK — can you look it up and give me its full name, city, country, and coordinates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific IATA or ICAO airport code and need structured details about that airport — name, location, coordinates, elevation, and type. Prefer this over the fuzzy-search sibling endpoint when the exact code is already known, and over the nearest-airports sibling when you have a code rather than coordinates.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized IATA/ICAO code returns an error or empty result
- Providing both IATA and ICAO simultaneously may be rejected (only one allowed)
- Malformed code (wrong length or format) returns a validation error
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request from being processed

## How this service works

Look up an airport by its 3-letter IATA code or 4-character ICAO code. Provide exactly one. Returns the airport name, both codes, city, country, coordinates, elevation and type.

## Output

Returns a structured record containing the airport's full name, IATA code, ICAO code, city, country, geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), elevation, and airport type for the queried code.
