What it does

This endpoint returns a PNG map image showing the track of a historical flight, identified by its FlightAware fa_flight_id. It is part of the StableTravel API suite, which wraps FlightAware AeroAPI data behind a pay-per-request MPP/x402 micropayment wall. No API keys or subscriptions are required — payment (USDC on Tempo L2) serves as authentication.

The endpoint accepts optional query parameters to control the rendered image: height and width (pixels), layer_on/layer_off (map layer toggles), show_data_block, airports_expand_view, and show_airports. The response is a PNG image. The price per call is $0.28 USD, settled via the Tempo method on chain ID 4217.

Typical workflow: first call `/api/flightaware/history/flights/{ident}` to retrieve historical flights and obtain a fa_flight_id, then use that ID in this endpoint's path to render the map. The endpoint is live and returns a 402 MPP challenge when called without payment headers.

Use cases

  • Generating a visual map of a past flight's route for a trip report
  • Embedding historical flight track images in dashboards or notifications
  • Providing visual proof of a flight path for expense or insurance claims
  • Displaying past flight routes in travel-planning agent UIs
  • Archiving flight track maps for aviation research

Fit

Best for

  • AI agents that need visual flight history without managing FlightAware credentials
  • Travel apps embedding historical flight maps on-demand
  • Autonomous workflows that pay per image without subscription overhead

Not for

  • Real-time live flight tracking maps (use /api/flightaware/flights/{id}/map instead)
  • Bulk batch rendering of thousands of maps (per-call cost adds up quickly)
  • Applications needing vector/SVG output rather than raster PNG

Quality

Full OpenAPI schema present with clear pricing, documented parameters, and a live 402 MPP challenge confirming the endpoint is operational. Response schema is empty (image/PNG), and no example response body is possible for binary content, which slightly limits completeness.

Warnings

  • Response is a PNG image; the OpenAPI response schema is empty/untyped
  • No explicit content-type: image/png declared in the OpenAPI spec (listed as application/json but actually returns PNG)
