Real-time FTM (Fantom) token price via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the FTM (Fantom) token. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs hosted at lowpaymentfee.com, covering data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per request with no API keys, rate limits, or subscriptions required.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/tokens/FTM/price` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the X-PAYMENT header using the x402 exact scheme. The USDC asset contract on Base is `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`, and the maximum amount required is 20,000 base units (i.e., $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals). The payment timeout is 300 seconds.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse — 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 is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the actual data source, update frequency, and response format are unknown.

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 spec, no documented request/response schema, no example payloads, and all documentation pages beyond the landing page are empty. The listing is essentially a stub with pricing info.
Warnings

- —No information on data source, update frequency, or accuracy of the FTM price
