## Run it

From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output:

```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method":"flightradar24.com/list_airport_flights","input":{"airport":"Heathrow","direction":"departures","max_results":25}}'
```

From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`.

## Ask your agent

- What flights are departing from Heathrow in the next few hours, with their airlines and destinations?
- Show me the arrivals board for JFK today, including estimated landing times and flight status.
- Can you list the next 15 departures from Dubai airport and the aircraft types used?
- I need the incoming flights to Los Angeles International this evening, with gate status and delays on flightradar24.com.
- Give me a list of upcoming departures from Frankfurt including flight numbers and scheduled versus estimated times.
