## 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-flightaware-airport-delays-aa570354
```

Example prompt: Are there any current flight delays at JFK right now, and if so what's causing them?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time FAA/FlightAware delay data for a specific airport, including categorized reasons for delays and color-coded severity. Prefer this over generic travel APIs when you need structured, per-airport delay intelligence with cause attribution (weather, volume, equipment). Pay-per-request with no subscription required makes it ideal for low-frequency or on-demand lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown airport code returns empty or error response
- Airport with no current delays returns an empty delays array
- Malformed request parameters return 400-level error
- Service unavailable or FlightAware upstream outage returns 5xx error
- Payment not included or insufficient returns 402 Payment Required
