Look up aviation tax data via a pay-per-call MPP endpoint settled on Tempo L2.
What it does
This endpoint provides aviation tax lookup data as part of the AviationStack suite, which covers real-time and historical flight tracking, airports, airlines, and schedules. The taxes endpoint specifically returns information about aviation-related taxes.
The endpoint is live and uses the Micropayment Protocol (MPP) with the Tempo settlement method on chain ID 4217. Each call costs 5,000 base units of pathUSD (6 decimals), which works out to $0.005 (half a cent) per request. The provider covers transaction fees (feePayer: true), so callers only pay the listed amount. Payment is a one-shot charge per call (intent: "charge").
Documentation is sparse — the provider's origin returns 404 on all common doc paths, and no OpenAPI schema or AI plugin manifest was found. The endpoint path `/v1/taxes` suggests a RESTful API that likely accepts query parameters (e.g., tax codes, country filters) and returns JSON, but the exact request/response schema is not documented in the available material. Users should experiment with GET requests and standard AviationStack parameter conventions (the upstream AviationStack API is a well-known aviation data provider).
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Retrieving aviation tax information for fare calculation or transparency tools
- —Building travel booking engines that need to itemize taxes and fees
- —Compliance and auditing workflows that require structured aviation tax data
Fit
Best for
- —Agents or apps needing on-demand aviation tax lookups without a subscription
- —Developers integrating aviation data into travel or finance applications
- —Automated fare-breakdown pipelines that need per-call pricing
Not for
- —Bulk historical tax data exports (pay-per-call model may be costly at scale)
- —Use cases requiring full AviationStack features like live flight tracking (this is only the taxes endpoint)
Quick start
curl -X GET "https://aviationstack.mpp.tempo.xyz/v1/taxes" \
-H "Authorization: Payment <tempo-payment-token>"Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 MPP challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.005 per call on Tempo L2). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation, no example requests or responses, and all doc paths return 404. The listing is effectively a stub with only the MPP challenge and the existing description to work from.
Warnings
- —No documentation found — all common doc paths (/, /docs, /api, /pricing, /README) return 404.
- —No OpenAPI or schema available; request parameters and response format are unknown.
- —Currency address 0x20c0...8b50 on chain 4217 is assumed to be pathUSD (6 decimals) based on Tempo conventions, but this is not explicitly confirmed in the crawl material.
