Get the current YFI token price via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of YFI (yearn.finance) in JSON format, paid per-request via the x402 protocol on the Base network. It is part of a broader suite of APIs offered by lowpaymentfee.com covering data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per call settled in USDC on Base.
The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and accepts POST requests. Payment is made via an exact-scheme USDC transfer (contract 0x8335…2913 on Base) to the provider's address. The max amount required is 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 USD (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is granted immediately upon valid x402 payment. The response MIME type is application/json.
Documentation beyond the landing page is essentially empty — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no example request/response payloads, and no description of the response schema. The endpoint path suggests it returns a price quote for the YFI token, but the exact response fields are unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, no example payloads, and all documentation pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. Effectively a stub listing.
