## 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 sitecheck-health-travel-flightaware-public-flight-tracker-0ee610d3
```

Example prompt: Can you look up flight UAL956 on FlightAware and tell me the airline, aircraft type, departure and arrival airports, and whether it's arrived or still en route?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, no-auth flight status and route information (airline, aircraft type, airports, status) for a single flight number, and do not need real-time telemetry such as live altitude or speed. It is a lightweight, low-cost option for simple flight lookups compared to paid aviation data APIs that require registration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown flight ident returns no data or an error
- Flight number with no recent activity may return empty results
- FlightAware page structure changes could break the scraper
- Rare or defunct flight numbers may not exist in FlightAware's database
- Rate limiting or blocking by FlightAware's public site could cause failures

## How this service works

Public FlightAware flight page for one flight number: airline, aircraft type, origin and destination airports (IATA, name), status (e.g. arrived, en route) and the flight ident. Read from the JSON embedded in the public page; no login. Live altitude and speed are not included on the page used.

## Output

Returns the flight identifier, airline name, aircraft type, origin airport (IATA code and full name), destination airport (IATA code and full name), and current flight status (e.g. arrived, en route, scheduled) as parsed from the FlightAware public page. Live altitude and speed are not included.
