# StableTravel FlightAware Flight Track History

> StableTravel FlightAware Flight Track History is a paid API for AI agents from stabletravel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.12/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Retrieves the historical position track (latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, groundspeed) for a specific flight by its FlightAware flight ID

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/history/flights/id/track
- Price: $0.12/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13

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-track-history-a96a122a
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full position track history for FlightAware flight AAL100-1733068800-airline-0001, including any estimated positions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the full historical positional track (latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, groundspeed) for a specific known flight identified by its FlightAware flight ID. Prefer this over airport-level endpoints when you need per-flight granular trajectory data rather than aggregate traffic information. Best suited for flight replay, route analysis, or verifying a specific flight's path.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown fa_flight_id returns empty positions array or 404
- Flight ID not yet in FlightAware history returns no results
- Malformed flight ID format may return 400 error
- Flight too old may not have position data available
- Network or payment failure returns 402 or 5xx

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns an array of position objects for the flight, each containing latitude, longitude, altitude (in hundreds of feet), heading (degrees), groundspeed (knots), timestamp (ISO 8601), update_type (e.g. 'A' for ADS-B), altitude_change indicator, and the fa_flight_id. Provides a chronological breadcrumb trail of the flight's trajectory.
