Get the current price of TON token via a pay-per-call x402 endpoint on Base.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the TON (Toncoin) token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of pay-per-request APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/tokens/TON/price` costs $0.02 per request (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). No API keys or accounts are required — callers simply attach an x402 payment header with each request. The platform advertises no rate limits and instant access. The response MIME type is `application/json`.
The broader lowpaymentfee.com platform lists additional endpoints for analytics metrics, reports, data export, insights, sentiment analysis, text summarization, classification, embeddings, price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates, geocoding, validation, conversion, and generation — all at the same $0.02/request price point. Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse; the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all resolve to a minimal "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail.

Quick start

-H "Content-Type: application/json"Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request/response format, no example payloads, and all documentation pages beyond the landing page are empty stubs ('Connect wallet'). The actual response structure for the TON price endpoint must be guessed.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — docs, pricing, and README pages all show only 'Connect wallet' with no technical content.
- —No request or response schema is documented; the output format of the TON price endpoint is unknown.
- —The endpoint path suggests a token-specific price lookup, but no details on supported tokens, data sources, or update frequency are provided.
- —This specific endpoint (/api/v1/tokens/TON/price) is not listed on the landing page's API catalog, which lists /api/v1/crypto/quotes and /api/v1/finance/prices instead — it may be undocumented or experimental.
