OHLCV candlestick data for THORChain (RUNE) via per-request x402 micropayment on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) market data for the THORChain RUNE token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of data, analytics, AI, finance, and utility APIs all gated behind the x402 payment protocol on the Base network.
The endpoint is live and responds with a standard x402 challenge requiring payment in USDC (contract 0x8335…2913 on Base). The maximum amount required per request is 20,000 base units of USDC, which at 6 decimals equals $0.02 USD. Payment is made via the x402 "exact" scheme with no API keys or rate limits required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid payment proof. The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON.
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 request/response schema documentation, and no example payloads available. The OHLCV data format (timeframes, fields, query parameters) must be inferred or discovered experimentally. The platform advertises uniform $0.02/request pricing across all its endpoints with no minimums or commitments.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 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/pricing/API pages are all empty wallet-connect stubs. The OHLCV data format and supported parameters are entirely unknown. The example request JSON above is inferred, not documented.

- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema for request or response bodies
- —OHLCV query parameters (timeframe, limit, date range) are undocumented and must be discovered experimentally
