Get the current price of BAT (Basic Attention Token) via a pay-per-call x402 endpoint on Base.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the BAT (Basic Attention Token) cryptocurrency. It is part of a broader suite of APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com that cover data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services — all accessible via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and is gated by an x402 payment challenge. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC (USD Coin) on Base (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). There are no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscription commitments — you pay per request with an on-chain micropayment. The x402 challenge was confirmed live, returning a 402 status with a well-formed payment challenge.
Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse: the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. No OpenAPI schema, request/response examples, or detailed field descriptions were found. The response MIME type is advertised as application/json, but the exact shape of the returned price data is unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 x402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC per call on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and all documentation pages returned only a wallet-connect prompt. The exact response format and available parameters are unknown, making this effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README all return only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no technical content.
- —Response schema is unknown; the endpoint advertises application/json but no example or field descriptions exist.
- —No SLA, rate-limit, or uptime guarantees documented.
- —The specific /tokens/BAT/price path is not listed on the landing page; it was only discovered via the probe. It may be an undocumented or experimental route.
