Flight Number API: AA719 Status as JSON
A flight number API returns one airborne flight as JSON — not the full airline fleet. On FlightLabs that is GET https://app.goflightlabs.com/flights with query access_key and flightIata. Official docs sample row is AA719 (FCO→PHL, B788, status en-route).
Starter is $24.99/mo (4,000 calls, 10 req/10s) with a 7-day trial or 50 requests. Soft Limit is on by default. This is ADS-B /flights, not the schedules timetable and not /retrieveFlights fares. Docs: goflightlabs.com/documentation.
