Real-time ALGO token price via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the ALGO (Algorand) token. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com, all gated by the x402 payment protocol. Each request costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network — no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions required. The caller simply attaches an x402 payment header to a POST request and receives a JSON response with the token price data.
The provider offers a wide catalog of endpoints spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 market data, and utility services, all at the same $0.02 per-call price point. This specific endpoint sits in the Finance & Web3 category alongside other price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, and gas estimates. The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live and accepting payments to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base.
Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response schema. Callers should expect a JSON response containing ALGO price information, but the exact fields are unknown.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and confirms pricing and payment details, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, and all documentation pages beyond the landing page are empty wallet-connect stubs. The endpoint's actual output format is unknown.
