OHLCV candlestick data for Polkadot (DOT) via per-request x402 micropayment on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) market data for the Polkadot (DOT) cryptocurrency. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of data, AI, finance, and utility APIs all gated behind x402 micropayments on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol: each request costs $0.02 in USDC (the challenge advertises a maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC on Base, which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals). There are no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscription commitments — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof for each request.
The broader lowpaymentfee.com platform lists endpoints across categories including analytics, AI/ML (sentiment, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities. All share the same $0.02-per-request pricing model. Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse; the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail.

Quality
The endpoint is live (returns a valid 402 x402 challenge) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC per request on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request parameters (e.g., timeframe, date range), no example responses, and all documentation pages beyond the landing page are empty. The actual data format and accepted inputs must be guessed.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — docs, API, pricing, and README pages all show only 'Connect wallet' with no technical content.
- —Request body schema is unknown: it is unclear what parameters (timeframe, start/end dates, etc.) the OHLCV endpoint accepts.
- —Response schema is unknown: no example response or output schema is provided.
- —The platform lists many diverse endpoints (AI, analytics, finance, utils) all at $0.02 — the actual data quality and sources behind them are unverified.
