USD/CHF forex rate via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides USD/CHF foreign exchange rate data, accessible through the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader suite of APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com covering finance, analytics, AI/ML, crypto, and utility services. Each request costs $0.02, paid in USDC on the Base network — no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions required.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 `X-PAYMENT` header using the "exact" scheme, settling to a specified wallet address in USDC (contract 0x8335…2913 on Base). The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no example payloads available. The exact structure of the forex data returned (bid/ask, mid-rate, timestamp, etc.) is unknown and must be discovered by making a paid request.
