Monitor gas spikes on Base chain via x402-paid crypto data intelligence endpoint.
What it does
This endpoint at bridge.eruditepay.com provides gas spike monitoring for the Base blockchain (and potentially other chains). It accepts a POST request with a JSON body specifying the chain to monitor and returns gas spike data. The endpoint is gated behind the x402 payment protocol (v2), requiring per-call payment of 0.01 USDC on Base (eip155:8453) or 0.01 USDT on Tron before data is served.
The endpoint is operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC, which also runs the EruditePay x402 Bridge — a payment facilitator supporting 20 blockchains. The facilitator for this endpoint is Coinbase CDP's x402 service. The response schema indicates a JSON object with a `success` boolean and a `data` object, though the exact structure of the gas spike data within `data` is not documented in the available materials.
Pricing: Each call costs 10,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals) = $0.01 USD, or equivalently 10,000 base units of USDT on Tron = $0.01 USD. The payment timeout is 300 seconds. No OpenAPI spec or detailed documentation for this specific monitoring endpoint was found; the provider's /docs path returns a 404.

}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with clear pricing and a basic input/output schema from the bazaar extension, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no dedicated documentation, and the example response data object is empty — making it impossible to know what gas spike data is actually returned.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or detailed API documentation available; /docs returns 404
- —The example output shows an empty data object — actual response structure is unknown
- —Description in the x402 challenge is generic ('Crypto data intelligence') and does not specifically describe gas spike monitoring behavior
- —Only the bazaar schema extension provides input/output info; no formal endpoint docs exist
