## 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-data-desk-airport-lookup-9e328471
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the details for Heathrow Airport — I need its ICAO and IATA codes, what type of airport it is, its elevation, and whether it has scheduled service?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured airport metadata (type, elevation, scheduled service, geographic coordinates, website, Wikipedia) keyed by ICAO, IATA, or local code, or when searching by city/name or nearest airports to coordinates. It is ideal when OurAirports-sourced data is acceptable and you need a low-cost ($0.01 USDC) lookup without requiring a full aviation data subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown airport code returns empty airports array
- Malformed coordinates return an error or empty result
- Missing required 'code' query parameter returns a 400-level error
- Ambiguous city name may return multiple or unexpected airports
- Non-existent airport name yields zero results

## How this service works

Airport lookup from OurAirports by ICAO, IATA or local code, by name or city, or the nearest airports to coordinates - type, elevation, scheduled service and links

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a mode field indicating how the query was interpreted, a count of results, the interpreted query string, the data source (OurAirports), and an array of airport objects each containing ICAO code, IATA code, OurAirports identifier, name, type, city, country, region, latitude, longitude, elevation in feet, scheduled service flag, airport website URL, and Wikipedia article URL. In nearest mode, distance is also included.
