OHLCV candlestick data for Algorand (ALGO) via x402 micropayment at $0.02 per request on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) market data for the Algorand (ALGO) cryptocurrency. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of data, AI, finance, and utility APIs all gated behind x402 micropayments on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol: callers include an X-PAYMENT header with a USDC payment on Base. The maximum amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC (0.02 USD, since USDC uses 6 decimals). The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access — you pay per request with no subscriptions or commitments.
The provider hosts many other endpoints across categories including analytics, AI/ML (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation), all at the same $0.02/request price point. Documentation beyond the landing page is sparse — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. No OpenAPI schema or request/response examples are provided, so the exact request body format and response structure for the ALGO OHLCV endpoint must be inferred or discovered experimentally.
