Real-time AVAX token price via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the AVAX (Avalanche) token. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com, all settled via the x402 protocol on the Base network using USDC. Each request costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). No API keys or accounts are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The provider offers endpoints across several categories including data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 market data, and utility services, all at a uniform $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint (`/api/v1/tokens/AVAX/price`) falls under the Finance & Web3 category and is designed to return AVAX price data in JSON format. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepts POST requests, and settles payments to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response schema. The endpoint's actual data source and update frequency are unknown.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and confirms pricing, network, and asset details. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, no example payloads, and the docs pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The endpoint's data source, update frequency, and response format are entirely unknown.
