GBP/CHF historical forex data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides historical foreign exchange rate data for the GBP/CHF currency pair. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a variety of pay-per-request APIs spanning finance, analytics, AI, and utilities. The endpoint is accessed via HTTP POST and is gated by the x402 payment protocol, meaning each request requires a USDC micropayment on the Base network — no API keys, accounts, or subscriptions needed.
The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and accepts payments of up to 20,000 base units of USDC (0.02 USD) per call, settled to a specified wallet address on Base. The platform advertises uniform $0.02 pricing across all its endpoints with no rate limits and no minimum commitments. However, documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what fields the history endpoint accepts or returns. The exact query parameters (date range, granularity, etc.) and response format must be discovered experimentally.
Because of the lack of documentation, integrators should expect to probe the endpoint to determine the accepted POST body structure and the shape of the returned historical data. The endpoint is confirmed live via its 402 challenge, and the platform root page loads successfully.
