How to use the Greater Bay Airlines API to track a live flight

curl "https://airlabs.co/api/v9/flights?airline_iata=HB&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Query the /flight endpoint with a real flight code-number (for example HB2397) — it returns the single closest live, scheduled or landed flight with position, status and full aircraft details:

curl "https://airlabs.co/api/v9/flight?flight_iata=HB2397&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY"

{
  "hex": "789260",
  "reg_number": "B-KJB",
  "flag": "HK",
  "lat": 26.692298,
  "lng": 123.471735,
