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-flightaware-flight-map-1a5d3fd0
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up a flight map for flight ID AAL123 — show airports on it and include the flight data block, sized at 800 by 600 pixels?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a visual map representation of a specific flight — its route, current position, and nearby airports — powered by FlightAware data. Prefer this over text-based flight status endpoints when the goal is rendering or embedding a flight map in a UI or report. Best for single-flight visualization with customizable map parameters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown flight ID returns an error or empty map
- Flight ID not found in FlightAware database returns 404-style error
- Invalid image dimensions may cause rendering failure
- Network or upstream FlightAware API outage returns 5xx error
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol) results in 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Pay-per-request access to flights, award availability, hotels, activities, and transfers. No auth, no subscriptions.

## Output

Returns a map image (likely as a JSON wrapper or image data) showing the flight's path, current position, and optionally airport markers and a flight data block overlay. The image dimensions and enabled/disabled layers are configurable.
