Real-time flight tracking via pay-per-call API settled on Tempo L2.
What it does
FlightAPI's Track a Flight endpoint lets you look up real-time flight status information through a simple REST GET request. The endpoint is hosted at `https://flightapi.mpp.tempo.xyz/airline/:rest*` and uses the MPP (Micropayment Protocol) with the Tempo settlement method on chain ID 4217. Each call costs 2,000 base units of pathUSD (0.002 USD per request), with the provider covering gas fees (feePayer: true).
The endpoint path pattern (`/airline/:rest*`) suggests you supply an airline code and possibly a flight number or additional path segments to identify the flight you want to track. The broader FlightAPI service is described as offering real-time flight prices, tracking, and airport schedules from 700+ airlines, though this specific endpoint is scoped to flight tracking.
No documentation, OpenAPI schema, or example responses were found during crawling — the provider's root domain and common doc paths all return 404. The endpoint itself is confirmed live via a valid 402 MPP challenge. Without schema or docs, the exact request format and response structure must be discovered through experimentation or external documentation.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Checking real-time status of a specific flight by airline and flight number
- —Building travel assistant agents that monitor flight delays and cancellations
- —Integrating live flight data into booking or itinerary management workflows
- —Powering notification systems that alert users to gate changes or arrival times
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents needing on-demand flight status without subscription commitments
- —Micropayment-friendly applications that pay per query
- —Developers building travel tools who want crypto-settled API access
Not for
- —Bulk historical flight data analysis (pay-per-call model would be expensive at scale)
- —Applications requiring airport schedule or flight pricing data (this endpoint is scoped to tracking only)
Quick start
curl -X GET "https://flightapi.mpp.tempo.xyz/airline/AA/1234" \
-H "Authorization: Payment <tempo-payment-token>"Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 MPP challenge with clear pricing, but no documentation, OpenAPI schema, or example responses are available. The request path pattern and response format must be inferred or discovered experimentally.
Warnings
- —No documentation or OpenAPI schema found — all doc paths return 404
- —Response schema is unknown; exact path parameters and query options are undocumented
- —Currency address 0x20c0...8b50 is assumed to be pathUSD (6 decimals) based on Tempo L2 conventions but could not be independently verified
