YFI 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 Yearn Finance (YFI) token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a variety of data, AI, finance, and utility APIs all gated behind the x402 payment protocol. Each request costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network — no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions required.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol: callers include an X-PAYMENT header with a signed payment authorization for 0.02 USDC (20,000 base units at 6 decimals) to the provider's address on Base. The payment settles using the "exact" scheme with USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) and supports a 300-second timeout window.
The broader lowpaymentfee.com platform lists additional crypto endpoints (token quotes, gas estimates, price feeds, exchange rates) as well as AI/ML endpoints (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings) and utility services (geocoding, validation, conversion). All share the same $0.02 per-request pricing model. Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the /docs, /pricing, and /api pages only show a wallet-connect prompt with no further technical detail.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and well-formed, confirming the endpoint exists and accepts payment. However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no response examples, no documentation of request parameters (e.g., time range, interval), and the docs/pricing/API pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The actual response format is entirely unknown.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a wallet-connect prompt with no technical content.
- —Request parameters (time range, candle interval, etc.) are undocumented; callers must guess or experiment.
- —Response schema is unknown — no examples or OpenAPI spec provided.
- —The broader platform lists many endpoints but none have visible documentation, raising questions about maturity.
