Pay-per-call stock quote for GOOGL via x402 on Base, settled in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides stock data for Alphabet (GOOGL) through a pay-per-request x402 protocol. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network. The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. No API keys or accounts are required — payment is handled inline via the x402 payment header using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) on Base.
The provider operates a broader catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. The specific /api/v1/stocks/GOOGL route is not listed on the provider's landing page among the advertised endpoints, but the x402 challenge is live and returns a valid 402 with payment terms. Documentation beyond the landing page is essentially empty (all doc/pricing/README pages only show a "Connect wallet" prompt), so the exact request body schema and response format are unknown.
Because there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response examples, and no documentation describing what fields the stock endpoint returns, consumers should expect to experiment. The endpoint is confirmed live via the 402 challenge, and the payment terms are clear: up to 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals) = $0.02 per call, with a 300-second payment timeout.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge confirmed) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is zero documentation on request/response schema, no OpenAPI spec, no examples, and the /stocks/GOOGL path isn't even listed on the provider's own landing page. Effectively a stub with verified liveness.
