## 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 aviationstack-flights-ea098c1e
```

Example prompt: What's the current real-time status of American Airlines flight AA100 — is it on time, delayed, or already landed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-time status of a specific flight — including delays, gate changes, actual departure/arrival times, and current flight position. Prefer this over FlightsFuture (which covers scheduled future flights) or Timetable (which covers general schedules). Best for tracking a specific flight in progress or recently completed.

## Known failure modes

- Flight not found — invalid flight number or airline IATA code returns empty results
- No real-time data available for very small regional carriers
- Historical flights outside the data window return no results
- Rate limiting or authentication errors if quota exceeded
- Malformed IATA codes return validation errors
