Market quote for PNC via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides a market quote for PNC (likely PNC Financial Services Group stock ticker) through an x402-gated API. The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) at a cost of $0.02 per request (20,000 base units with 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — access is granted per-call via the x402 payment protocol.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broad catalog of x402-gated APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint falls under the Finance & Web3 category. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and uses the "exact" payment scheme with a 300-second timeout.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, API, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no example payloads available. The exact structure of the request body and the fields returned in the quote response are unknown and must be discovered experimentally.
