Real-time stock price data for BLK (BlackRock) via x402 micropayment on Base network.
What it does
This x402 endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns the current stock price for BLK (BlackRock, Inc.) in exchange for a per-request USDC micropayment on the Base network. The endpoint costs $0.02 per call (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals) and requires no API keys, accounts, or rate-limit management — payment is handled inline via the x402 protocol's X-PAYMENT header.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broader catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/crypto market data, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint is part of the finance category and serves stock price data. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepts USDC on Base (contract 0x8335…2913), and responds with JSON. The POST method is required.
Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the /docs, /pricing, and /api pages all render only a wallet-connect prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response schema. The endpoint path suggests it returns price data for the ticker symbol BLK, but the exact response structure must be discovered empirically.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid x402 402 challenge with clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, no example payloads, and the docs pages are empty wallet-connect stubs. The listing is functional but largely a stub in terms of developer documentation.

- —Docs, pricing, and API pages on the provider site render only a wallet-connect prompt with no useful content
