# Xynaptic Airport Situation

> Xynaptic Airport Situation is a paid API for AI agents from api.xynaptic.io, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Returns real-time weather and operating conditions for any airport by ICAO code, combining METAR and TAF data with an agent-ready assessment of wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, and forecast trends.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.xynaptic.io/v1/airport-situation?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-02

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 xynaptic-airport-situation-16e12f4c
```

Example prompt: What are the current weather and operating conditions at Charles de Gaulle airport — ICAO code LFPG? I need wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, and whether conditions are improving or getting worse.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, agent-ready synthesis of current and forecast airport weather — combining METAR and TAF into one structured assessment — rather than parsing raw aviation weather feeds yourself. Prefer it over generic weather APIs when ICAO-code-level aviation specificity (ceiling, visibility in statute miles, QNH, TAF trends) is required for flight planning, dispatch, or operational decisions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ICAO code returns an error
- Airport has no active METAR station (no weather reporting available)
- Upstream weather data source temporarily unavailable
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Malformed query parameter (e.g. IATA code instead of ICAO) returns no results

## How this service works

Xynaptic Airport Situation — real-time weather and operating conditions of any airport by ICAO code (METAR + TAF): wind, visibility, ceiling, temperature, forecast trends, and an agent-ready assessment. On-demand, parameter: ?code=LFPG.

## Output

A structured report including current METAR observations (wind speed/direction, visibility, ceiling, temperature, dewpoint, altimeter), TAF forecast trends, and an agent-ready operational assessment summarizing whether conditions are normal, marginal, or adverse for operations.
