Historical stock data for IBM via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides historical stock price data for IBM, accessible through the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. Each request costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals) and requires no API keys, rate limits, or upfront commitments — you pay per call using USDC on Base.
The endpoint is part of a broader suite of APIs offered at lowpaymentfee.com, which spans data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. The specific endpoint `/api/v1/stocks/IBM/history` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. However, the exact request body schema and response fields are not documented in the available crawl material; the only schema information available is that it expects an HTTP POST and is marked as discoverable.
Payment is settled on-chain via the x402 "exact" scheme to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3` using USDC (`0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`) on Base. The maximum timeout for payment settlement is 300 seconds. Because no detailed documentation, request examples, or response examples are available beyond the landing page, users should expect to experiment with the endpoint to discover the full input/output contract.
