## 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-eb4a8ee1
```

Example prompt: Are there any current delays at Madrid Barajas airport, and if so what's causing them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, structured delay data specifically for Madrid Barajas (MAD/LEMD) airport — especially when you need delay reason categories and severity color codes. Prefer this over a generic delays endpoint when you only need MAD and want a focused, low-latency single-airport response.

## Known failure modes

- Airport code not found or unsupported — may return empty or error response
- FlightAware upstream data unavailable — may return stale or error response
- Payment failure (x402) — returns 402 if USDC payment not provided
- Rate limiting — returns 429 if call quota exceeded

## How this service works

Get current delay information for a specific airport

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a color-coded severity indicator (e.g. green/yellow/red), the airport name and ICAO code (LEMD), an array of delay reasons each containing a category, count, delay duration in seconds, and color severity, and a top-level delay category and delay_secs value. A green status with empty reasons means no current delays.
