## 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 saylor-innovations-aircraft-tracking-military-airborne-now-9df8eba4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all military aircraft that are airborne right now worldwide and show me the count broken down by aircraft type?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time global snapshot of military aircraft currently airborne, particularly when you want ADS-B-sourced data with type-based groupings. Prefer this over general aviation APIs when military-specific filtering is required without needing to post-filter a broader dataset.

## Known failure modes

- ADS-B data feed unavailable or delayed — returns stale or empty aircraft list
- No military aircraft currently broadcasting ADS-B — count returns 0
- Payment not processed (x402) — request rejected with 402 status
- Rate limiting or upstream data provider outage — 503 or timeout response
