Pay-per-call flight schedule/timetable data via AviationStack, settled on Tempo L2.
What it does
This MPP (Micropayment Protocol) endpoint exposes AviationStack's flight timetable data at a per-request price, settled in pathUSD on the Tempo L2 chain (chainId 4217). Each call costs 5,000 base units of pathUSD (pathUSD uses 6 decimals), which works out to $0.005 — half a cent per request. The endpoint is live and returns a standard 402 Payment Required challenge when accessed without payment credentials.
AviationStack is a well-known aviation data provider offering real-time and historical flight tracking, airport information, airline details, and schedule/timetable lookups. This particular endpoint (`/v1/timetable`) is focused on flight schedules. Based on the standard AviationStack API, typical query parameters include `iata_code` or `icao_code` for an airport, `flight_iata` or `flight_icao` for a specific flight, and optional `type` (arrival/departure) filtering. However, no OpenAPI schema or documentation is available from this MPP gateway itself, so exact parameter support should be verified against the upstream AviationStack API documentation.
The endpoint settles payments via the Tempo method, meaning an agent needs a Tempo-compatible wallet with pathUSD on chain 4217. The provider covers transaction fees (`feePayer: true`), so callers only pay the listed data price. The challenge expires far in the future (April 2026), indicating a stable pricing configuration.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Querying departure and arrival schedules for a specific airport
- —Looking up timetable information for a particular flight by IATA or ICAO code
- —Building travel assistant agents that need real-time or scheduled flight data
- —Integrating flight schedule checks into automated booking or notification workflows
- —Monitoring airline schedules for delays or changes
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents that need on-demand flight schedule lookups without API key management
- —Micropayment-based aviation data access with no subscription commitment
- —Developers building travel tools who want pay-per-call pricing at $0.005/request
Not for
- —Bulk historical flight data downloads (per-call pricing adds up quickly at scale)
- —Real-time flight position tracking (this endpoint is timetable/schedule focused)
- —Users without a Tempo L2 wallet or pathUSD balance
Quick start

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 MPP challenge with clear pricing and settlement details. However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation pages, no example responses, and the crawl returned 404 on all auxiliary pages. Parameter names and response format are inferred from the upstream AviationStack API, not directly confirmed.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available from the MPP gateway itself
- —All documentation/landing pages return 404 — no self-hosted docs
- —Query parameters and response format are inferred from the upstream AviationStack API and not confirmed for this gateway
- —Currency address 0x20c0…8b50 is assumed to be pathUSD with 6 decimals based on Tempo L2 conventions; if decimals differ, the price calculation would change
