# FlightAware Flight Track API via stabletravel.dev

> FlightAware Flight Track API via stabletravel.dev is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.024/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns the full position history (flight track) for a specific flight, including GPS coordinates, altitude, heading, and groundspeed at each recorded point

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 flightaware-flight-track-api-via-stabletravel-dev-7a9fa42d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full flight track for American Airlines flight AAL95 — I want to see all the position data including estimated positions along the route?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the historical or live positional breadcrumb trail for a specific flight (by FlightAware flight ID), such as replaying a flight path, auditing actual route flown, or analyzing flight performance. Prefer this over a flight status endpoint when you need granular positional time-series data rather than just origin/destination/status.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown fa_flight_id returns empty positions array or 404
- Flight ID has expired or aged out of FlightAware's data window
- Malformed flight ID format causes a 400 bad request
- Network or upstream FlightAware API timeout returns 503
- Insufficient payment or x402 payment failure returns 402

## How this service works

Get the flight track (position history) for a flight

## Output

An array of position objects, each containing latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, groundspeed, timestamp, update_type, altitude_change, and fa_flight_id. Together these form a chronological breadcrumb trail of the aircraft's path through the air.
