Pay-per-call airplane data lookup via AviationStack, settled on Tempo L2.
What it does
This MPP endpoint provides airplane lookup data from AviationStack, a well-known aviation data provider covering real-time and historical flight tracking, airports, airlines, and schedules. The endpoint is hosted at aviationstack.mpp.tempo.xyz and uses the Tempo payment method (pathUSD on Tempo L2, chain ID 4217) with a per-call charge intent.
Each request costs 5,000 base units of pathUSD. Assuming pathUSD uses 6 decimals (standard for USD stablecoins), this translates to $0.005 (half a cent) per call. The endpoint is accessed via GET at /v1/airplanes and is confirmed live, returning a proper 402 Payment Required challenge. The fee payer flag is set to true, meaning the provider covers on-chain transaction fees.
No documentation, OpenAPI schema, or usage examples were found on the provider's domain — all crawled pages returned 404. The endpoint path and description suggest it returns airplane metadata (likely manufacturer, model, registration, IATA/ICAO type codes, etc.), consistent with the upstream AviationStack API's airplanes endpoint. However, the exact query parameters and response schema cannot be confirmed from the available material.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Looking up airplane details such as manufacturer, model, and type codes
- —Enriching flight tracking applications with aircraft metadata
- —Building aviation dashboards that need airplane reference data
- —Integrating airplane information into travel or logistics platforms
Fit
Best for
- —Agents needing on-demand airplane metadata without API key subscriptions
- —Pay-per-call aviation data access with crypto settlement
- —Low-cost airplane lookups at $0.005 per request
Not for
- —Real-time flight tracking (this endpoint is specifically for airplane metadata, not live positions)
- —High-volume bulk data exports where per-call pricing may add up
- —Users who need fiat/credit-card payment — this settles only via Tempo L2
Quick start

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid 402 MPP challenge, but no documentation, OpenAPI schema, query parameters, or response examples are available. All crawled pages return 404. The listing is essentially a stub inferred from the endpoint path, description field, and knowledge of the upstream AviationStack API.
Warnings
- —No documentation found — all pages on aviationstack.mpp.tempo.xyz return 404.
- —No OpenAPI or response schema available; query parameters and response format are unknown.
- —Currency address 0x20c000000000000000000000b9537d11c60e8b50 assumed to be pathUSD with 6 decimals; if different, the $0.005 price estimate may be incorrect.
- —Root domain returns 404, suggesting no landing page or developer portal exists.
