GBP/USD historical forex data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides historical forex data for the GBP/USD currency pair, accessible through the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. Each request costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals), settled on-chain to the provider's wallet. No API keys or rate limits are required — payment is handled per-request via the X-PAYMENT header.
The endpoint is part of a broader suite of APIs offered by lowpaymentfee.com spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per call. The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/forex/GBPUSD/history` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. However, documentation on the exact request body schema (e.g., date ranges, granularity parameters) and response format is not publicly available — the docs, pricing, and API pages behind the site all appear to require a wallet connection to view.
Because the crawled documentation is extremely thin (most pages only show "Connect wallet"), the precise input parameters and response structure for this forex history endpoint remain unknown. The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 challenge, and the pricing is clear, but prospective users should expect to experiment or connect a wallet to access fuller documentation.
