AUD/CAD forex exchange rate via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides the AUD/CAD (Australian Dollar to Canadian Dollar) foreign exchange rate through an x402-enabled API hosted at lowpaymentfee.com. Each request costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC on the Base network, where USDC has 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — payment is handled per-request via the x402 protocol using an exact-payment scheme.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, offers a broad catalog of pay-per-call endpoints spanning finance, AI/ML, data analytics, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint is a POST-based forex rate lookup for the AUD/CAD currency pair, returning JSON. The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live and accepting payments to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base.
Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the /docs, /pricing, and /README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no example payloads available from the crawl. The endpoint's exact input parameters and response format must be inferred from the URL pattern (currency pair in the path) and the declared mimeType of application/json.

Quality
