Historical USD/CHF forex data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides historical exchange rate data for the USD/CHF currency pair. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a broad suite of pay-per-call APIs spanning finance, analytics, AI/ML, and utilities. All endpoints use the x402 protocol for payment, settling in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per request with no API keys, rate limits, or subscriptions required.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/forex/USDCHF/history` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. The x402 challenge confirms it is live, advertising a maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335… on Base), which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals. Payment is made via the x402 "exact" scheme to the provider's wallet address.
Documentation on the site is extremely sparse — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no usage examples available from the crawl. The endpoint's exact input parameters (e.g., date range, granularity) and response format are unknown and must be discovered by calling the endpoint with payment.
