## 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-flight-information-by-ident-35042c8d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the recent flight history for the aircraft with registration JA73NG, including where it flew from and to and the departure times?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured flight data for a known flight identifier (tail number, flight number, or FlightAware ID) via a pay-per-use micropayment model. Prefer it over scraping or manual lookup when an agent needs machine-readable flight details including airport codes, times, and routing. Ideal when the identifier type is known and you want paginated historical or scheduled flight records powered by FlightAware data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ident returns empty flights array
- Malformed ident_type enum value causes request rejection
- Date range too broad or unsupported causes truncated results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout for slow FlightAware upstream response
- Pagination cursor mismatch returns error or unexpected results

## How this service works

Get flight information by ident (designator, registration, or fa_flight_id)

## Output

Returns a paginated list of flights matching the provided ident, each containing flight type (Airline, General_Aviation, Cargo), ident string, origin and destination airport details (name, city, IATA/ICAO codes, timezone), departure and arrival times, route string, and pagination links for additional results.
