Pay-per-call airline data lookup via AviationStack, settled on Tempo L2.
What it does
This endpoint provides airline information through the AviationStack aviation data platform, proxied via the Tempo MPP (Micropayment Protocol) gateway. Each call is a one-shot charge settled in pathUSD on the Tempo L2 chain (chainId 4217). The price per request is $0.005 (5000 base units of pathUSD, which uses 6 decimals).
The endpoint is live and returns a standard MPP 402 payment challenge on unauthenticated GET requests to `/v1/airlines`. Based on the AviationStack API's well-known structure, this endpoint likely supports query parameters such as `airline_name`, `iata_code`, `icao_code`, and others to filter airline results. Responses typically include airline name, IATA/ICAO codes, fleet size, route information, and operational status.
No documentation, OpenAPI schema, or example responses are available from the MPP gateway itself — all crawled pages return 404. The listing is inferred from the endpoint path, the MPP challenge metadata, and general knowledge of the upstream AviationStack API. Users should consult the original AviationStack API documentation for parameter and response details.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Look up airline details by IATA or ICAO code for travel applications
- —Enrich flight booking data with carrier information
- —Build aviation dashboards that display airline metadata
- —Validate airline codes in logistics or cargo tracking systems
Fit
Best for
- —Agents or apps needing on-demand airline metadata without a subscription
- —Micropayment-friendly aviation data access
- —Low-volume or sporadic airline lookups where per-call pricing is economical
Not for
- —High-volume bulk airline data ingestion (per-call cost adds up)
- —Use cases requiring flight tracking, schedules, or airport data (this endpoint covers airlines only)
Quick start
curl -X GET "https://aviationstack.mpp.tempo.xyz/v1/airlines?airline_name=American" \
-H "Authorization: Payment <tempo-payment-token>"Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid MPP 402 challenge and clear pricing, but there is no documentation, no OpenAPI schema, and no example responses available from the gateway. All supplementary crawl pages return 404. The listing is largely inferred from the endpoint path and upstream AviationStack API conventions.
Warnings
- —No documentation or OpenAPI schema available from the MPP gateway — all doc URLs return 404.
- —Response schema is unknown; inferred from upstream AviationStack API conventions.
- —Currency address 0x20c0...8b50 assumed to be pathUSD (6 decimals) on Tempo chain 4217; if this assumption is wrong the price calculation would differ.
- —No examples of successful (200) responses were captured.
