USDT OHLCV candlestick data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for the USDT cryptocurrency pair. It is part of a broader suite of finance and crypto APIs offered by the same provider, all gated behind the x402 payment protocol on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and is paid per-call using USDC on Base. The x402 challenge advertises a maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC (which has 6 decimals), equating to $0.02 per request. No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof. The payment settles to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using the USDC contract at 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base.
Documentation is extremely sparse. The provider's landing page lists many endpoints across data/analytics, AI/ML, finance/web3, and infrastructure categories, all at $0.02 per request. However, no request body schema, response schema, or usage examples are documented for any endpoint. The specific parameters accepted by the OHLCV endpoint (e.g., time range, interval, trading pair) are unknown from the available material. The docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional content.
