Stock quote data for MCO via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides stock data for the ticker MCO, accessible via the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader platform offering data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility APIs—all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/stocks/MCO` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled inline via the x402 `X-PAYMENT` header; no API keys, accounts, or rate limits are required. The x402 challenge advertises a max amount of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals. The platform advertises simple pay-per-use pricing with no minimums or commitments.
Documentation is extremely sparse. The docs, pricing, API, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no example payloads available. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns 402 with a valid x402 challenge), but the actual shape of the stock data response and any accepted request parameters are unknown.
