Pay-per-call OHLCV candlestick data for Cardano (ADA) via x402 on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for Cardano (ADA). It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of data, AI, finance, and utility APIs all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access.
Payment is handled via the x402 protocol on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). Each request costs a maximum of 20,000 base units of USDC, which equals $0.02 (USDC uses 6 decimals). The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. No authentication beyond the x402 payment header is required.
The broader lowpaymentfee.com platform also exposes endpoints for analytics, AI inference (sentiment, summarization, classification, embeddings), exchange rates, gas estimates, geocoding, and more — all at the same $0.02 per-call price point. Documentation pages exist but were largely empty at crawl time, so request/response schemas for this specific OHLCV endpoint are not documented.

However, there is no documented request/response schema, no examples, and the docs pages returned only 'Connect wallet' with no content. The specific OHLCV endpoint's input parameters and output format are entirely unknown.
