## 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-real-time-flight-status-via-vaaya-0c4923d4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the real-time status of flight AA100 right now — is it on time, delayed, or has it landed?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time flight status for a specific flight, route, or airline and already know the IATA codes. Prefer this over general travel APIs when you need fast, affordable per-call pricing (~0.5¢ via AviationStack) and don't want to manage your own AviationStack API key. Best for agents that need live flight tracking without setting up a direct AviationStack subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IATA code returns no results or error
- Flight not found if too far in the past or future
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429
- Missing required flight identifier returns validation error
- Obscure or regional flights may have incomplete or missing data

## How this service works
