How this service works
Search for flights with position data
Output
Returns an array of flights with rich detail including flight identifier (IATA/ICAO), operator, origin and destination airports (with city, codes, timezone), route, flight type (Airline/General_Aviation/Cargo), status, actual departure and arrival times, codeshares, and a pagination link for next results.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Search FlightAware for all airborne Delta flights right now — use the query 'DAL' and filter for airborne only, returning only unique flights.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://stabletravel.dev/api/flightaware/flights/search/positions?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search for flights by a flexible query string (callsign, tail number, operator code, etc.) and also need position/location data alongside flight details. Prefer this over the airport-specific flights or scheduled arrivals endpoints when you don't have a specific airport context but want to match flights broadly and need their real-time state.
Side effects
- Empty results if the query string matches no active flights
- Invalid filter value returns validation error
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns 400 error
- Upstream FlightAware API unavailability causes 502 or timeout
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 if USDC payment not processed
