Pay-per-call stock quote API for PNC Financial Services, settled in USDC on Base.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns stock data for PNC Financial Services Group (ticker: PNC) via a simple POST request. Payment is handled inline using the x402 protocol — each call costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network, with no API keys, subscriptions, or rate limits required. The endpoint advertises an exact payment scheme, accepting USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) to a specified payTo address, with a 300-second payment timeout.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services — all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. The specific /api/v1/stocks/PNC endpoint is not listed on the provider's landing page catalog (which focuses on analytics, AI, finance, and utility categories), but the x402 challenge is live and well-formed. No OpenAPI schema, response examples, or detailed documentation were found in the crawl; the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all rendered only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content.
Because no response schema or sample output is available, the exact fields returned by this endpoint are unknown. It is reasonable to infer it returns JSON stock market data for PNC (e.g., price, volume, change), but this cannot be confirmed from the available material.

However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no response examples, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, and this specific stocks endpoint isn't even listed in the provider's own catalog. The actual data returned is entirely unknown.
