# FlightAware Airport Info by Code

> FlightAware Airport Info by Code is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns detailed information for a specific airport identified by its IATA or ICAO code, including location, elevation, timezone, and flight URL.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/airports/MAD
- Price: $0.03/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/stabletravel-dev-65a8e662
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_t0b_aDMArkJYV6XpneSOj

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 stabletravel-dev-65a8e662
```

Example prompt: What are the full details for Madrid Barajas airport — give me its coordinates, timezone, elevation, and ICAO code using FlightAware.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, authoritative airport metadata — especially coordinates, timezone, ICAO/IATA code cross-reference, or elevation — for a single known airport code. Prefer over general web search when you need machine-readable data for downstream flight or mapping logic.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown airport code returns an error or empty response
- Airport code format mismatch (e.g. passing wrong code type) may return null fields
- Network or upstream FlightAware API unavailability causes timeout or 5xx error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Get detailed information for a specific airport by its code

## Output

A JSON object containing the airport's full name, city, state, country code, IATA code, ICAO code, latitude, longitude, elevation (in feet), timezone (IANA string), Wikipedia URL, a link to the airport's flights page, and any alternative airport identifiers.
