Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/flights/search/positionsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search for multiple flights matching a keyword, airline, callsign, or route pattern and want real-time position data included in the results. Prefer this over the airport-specific flights endpoint when you don't have a specific airport code but have a flight identifier, airline name, or route pattern. Choose this over the track endpoint when you want to discover flights first before drilling into a specific flight's full track.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid filter value (not 'airborne' or 'grounded') returns 400 error
- Query matches no flights returns empty flights array
- FlightAware upstream timeout returns 503 or gateway error
- Payment of 0.1 USDC not provided returns 402 Payment Required
