FTM OHLCV candlestick data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for the Fantom (FTM) cryptocurrency token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of pay-per-call APIs spanning crypto market data, analytics, AI/ML inference, and utility services — all gated via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC on Base (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) at a cost of $0.02 per request (20,000 base units with 6 decimals). No API keys or accounts are required; callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof. The platform advertises no rate limits and instant access.
Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the /docs, /pricing, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no published OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of accepted query parameters (e.g., time range, interval). The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the lack of documentation means callers will need to experiment or inspect responses to understand the full request format and output structure.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid x402 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no meaningful documentation — the docs pages all render only a wallet-connect prompt. The request body format and response structure are entirely unknown.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /README all return only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no technical content
- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema published; request parameters and response format are unknown
- —No example requests or responses available; callers must discover the API contract experimentally
- —The platform lists many diverse endpoints (AI, analytics, finance, utils) all at the same $0.02 price point — actual data quality and coverage are unverified
