## Request

- Base URL: `https://2s.io`
- URL: `https://2s.io/api/airport/near`
- Auth: API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

Airports within a radius of a coordinate, sorted by distance. Query: lat (-90..90), lon (-180..180), radius_km (1-2000, default 200), limit (1-100, default 20), type (optional: large_airport|medium_airport|small_airport|heliport|seaplane_base|balloonport|closed), country (optional 2-letter ISO 3166-1), scheduled_service (optional bool, true = commercial-service airports only). Returns { query, count, airports: [{ id, ident, name, iataCode, icaoCode, type, latitude, longitude, distanceKm, ... }] }.

## Query parameters

- `lat` number, required
- `lon` number, required
- `radius_km` number
- `limit` integer
- `type` 'large_airport' | 'medium_airport' | 'small_airport' | 'heliport' | 'seaplane_base' | 'balloonport' | 'closed'
- `country` string
- `scheduled_service` boolean
- `trial` 1

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
