Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable flight deal data from Skyscanner without managing a browser or scraping infrastructure yourself, and you only want to pay when results are returned. Ideal for AI travel agents, price monitoring bots, or itinerary planners that need live fare data on demand.
