Get the current stock price for UNP (Union Pacific) via x402 micropayment on Base.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current stock price for Union Pacific Corporation (ticker: UNP) through the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader API platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility endpoints — all payable per-request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions.
The endpoint accepts HTTP POST requests and is secured by the x402 protocol on the Base network. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC (USD Coin, contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913, 6 decimals — the maxAmountRequired of 20000 base units equals $0.02). Payment is made via the X-PAYMENT header; no traditional authentication or API key is needed. The response MIME type is application/json.
Documentation on the site is minimal — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI schema, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response fields. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the exact shape of the stock-price response must be inferred from the endpoint path and description.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid x402 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request/response format, no example payloads, and the site's docs/pricing/API pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The listing is largely inferred from the URL path and the x402 challenge metadata.
