## 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-flight-counts-0f6c11ca
```

Example prompt: How many flights are currently enroute, departed, and scheduled to arrive or depart at KJFK right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick numeric summary of flight activity at a specific airport — enroute, departed, and scheduled counts — rather than full flight details or lists. Ideal for dashboards, busyness checks, or monitoring airport traffic volume without needing individual flight records.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized airport ID returns an error or empty response
- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment is not attached or insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short period
- Airport code not found in FlightAware data returns null or error

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object with four integer fields: enroute (flights currently in the air headed to or from the airport), departed (flights that have already departed), scheduled_arrivals (upcoming scheduled arriving flights), and scheduled_departures (upcoming scheduled departing flights).
