NZD/CHF forex exchange rate via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides the NZD/CHF (New Zealand Dollar to Swiss Franc) foreign exchange rate. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com, which spans finance, analytics, AI, crypto, and utility categories. The endpoint uses the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per request (maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units with 6 decimals = $0.02).
The API requires no API keys, has no stated rate limits, and offers instant access. Callers pay per request using the x402 `X-PAYMENT` header. The endpoint accepts HTTP POST and returns JSON. However, documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, API, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI schema, no example request/response, and no description of the response payload beyond the generic "Premium API Access" label.
Because the endpoint is live (returns a valid 402 challenge) and the pricing is clear, it is functional for agents that understand x402. However, the lack of any documented request parameters or response schema means callers must discover the interface by trial, which limits practical usability.

Quick start

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge with clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request/response format, no examples, and the docs/pricing/README pages are all empty beyond a wallet connect prompt. Effectively a stub listing with a working payment gate.
Warnings

- —No example responses available; callers must discover the response shape empirically
