Pay-per-call OHLCV candlestick data for Zcash (ZEC) via x402 on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for Zcash (ZEC). It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of pay-per-request APIs spanning crypto market data, analytics, AI/ML inference, and utility services. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol on the Base network using USDC, with no API keys, subscriptions, or rate limits required.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals on Base). The x402 challenge was confirmed live, returning a 402 with a valid payment challenge specifying the USDC contract on Base (0x8335…2913). The payment recipient is 0x1A2B…85F3 with a max timeout of 300 seconds.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of supported query parameters (e.g., time range, interval/granularity, pagination). The endpoint's behavior must be inferred entirely from its URL path and the site's landing page listing. Users should expect standard OHLCV fields but should be prepared for undocumented request formats.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and all documentation pages render only a wallet-connect prompt. The endpoint's input parameters and output format are entirely undocumented, making this effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — docs, pricing, and API pages all show only 'Connect wallet' with no technical content.
- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema provided; request parameters (time range, interval, etc.) are unknown.
- —No example responses available; the actual OHLCV output format is unverified.
- —This specific endpoint (/api/v1/crypto/ZEC/ohlcv) is not listed on the site's landing page among the advertised endpoints, so it may be an unlisted or experimental route.
