Get the current stock price for VZ (Verizon) via a pay-per-call x402 endpoint on Base.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current stock price for Verizon (ticker: VZ) as part of a broader suite of paid APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com. It uses the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network. Each request costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). No API keys, accounts, or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The provider offers a wide catalog of endpoints spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/crypto market data, and utility services, all at a uniform $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint sits under the finance category and is accessed via HTTP POST. The response MIME type is application/json. No OpenAPI schema or detailed documentation was found beyond the landing page listing, so the exact response shape (e.g., fields like price, timestamp, currency) must be inferred or discovered by making a paid call.
The endpoint is live and returns a proper x402 version-1 challenge when called without payment. The payment is settled to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base. The maximum timeout for payment settlement is 300 seconds.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing ($0.02 per call in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented response format, and the crawled docs/pricing/README pages are all empty stubs ('Connect wallet'). The example response is entirely inferred and may not match the actual output.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or response schema available — the response JSON structure is inferred and unverified
- —Documentation pages (/docs, /pricing, /README) returned no useful content
- —The stock price endpoint is not listed on the provider's landing page catalog, which lists finance/prices and finance/rates but not stocks/* — this endpoint may be undocumented or experimental
