Pay-per-call stock data for BLK (BlackRock) via x402 on Base, settled in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides stock data for the ticker BLK (BlackRock, Inc.) through an x402 payment-gated API. Each request costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network — no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions required. The caller sends an X-PAYMENT header containing a signed USDC payment of up to 20,000 base units (0.02 USDC at 6 decimals) and receives a JSON response with stock information.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform (lowpaymentfee.com) that offers dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services, all at the same $0.02/request price point. The /api/v1/stocks/BLK route specifically targets equity market data for BlackRock. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepts POST requests, and settles payments to address 0x1A2B…85F3 using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) on Base.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse — the /docs, /api, /pricing, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response schema. Prospective users should expect to discover the response format empirically.
