Retrieve the latest Base blockchain block data via x402 micropayment
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint returns the latest block information for the Base blockchain (eip155:8453). It is operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC and described as providing "Crypto data intelligence." The endpoint accepts a POST request with a JSON body specifying the chain (e.g., "base") and returns block data in JSON format.
Payment is required per-call via the x402 protocol (version 2). The endpoint accepts two payment options: USDC on Base (eip155:8453) at 10,000 base units ($0.01 USD) or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428) at 10,000 base units ($0.01 USD). Payment verification and settlement are facilitated through the EruditePay Bridge, which supports 20 blockchains and uses the Coinbase CDP facilitator for Base-chain payments.
The response schema is loosely defined — the example output shows `{"success": true, "data": {}}` with the actual block data presumably populating the `data` object. No detailed documentation for this specific data endpoint was found (the provider's /docs path returns a 404), so the exact fields returned in the block data are unknown. The provider is a FinCEN-registered MSB (BSA ID 31000324258137) operating non-custodially.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with clear pricing and payment options. However, the output schema is essentially empty (example shows data: {}), no dedicated docs exist (/docs returns 404), and the actual block data fields are unknown. The listing is functional but underspecified.
Warnings
- —Output schema is underspecified — example response shows an empty data object with no field definitions
- —Provider documentation endpoint (/docs) returns 404; no detailed API docs available
- —Exact fields returned in block data are unknown and must be discovered empirically
