# Aviation Weather Airport Conditions

> Aviation Weather Airport Conditions is a paid API for AI agents from aviation-weather.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns current flight category, worst forecast flight category, wind, and trend for a given airport in a single call.

## 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 aviation-weather-airport-conditions-66891027
```

Example prompt: What are the current and forecast flight conditions at KORD for the next 12 hours — give me the current category, worst category ahead, and wind summary so I can decide whether to depart.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both current conditions AND a near-term forecast summary in a single call, rather than fetching METAR and TAF separately. Ideal for go/no-go decision support, pre-flight briefing automation, or any agent workflow that needs a single actionable verdict about an airport's flyability without post-processing multiple sources.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ICAO code returns an error or null data
- No current METAR available results in null 'now' fields with degraded flag set
- TAF unavailable causes worstCategoryAhead to be null
- Hours parameter outside 3–24 range may be rejected or clamped
- Payment failure returns 402 before data is delivered
- Network timeout from upstream weather data sources

## How this service works

Airport weather now and ahead in one call: current flight category, worst forecast category, wind and trend.

## Output

Returns a structured object with the current METAR-derived flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind speed/direction and gusts, temperature, dew point, visibility, ceiling, altimeter setting, observation age, plus the worst forecast flight category within the look-ahead window, when it starts, a human-readable verdict and summary, degraded-data flags, and source URLs.
