Historical USD/SEK forex data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint provides historical exchange rate data for the USD/SEK currency pair. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a variety of pay-per-request APIs spanning finance, AI/ML, data analytics, and infrastructure utilities. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/forex/USDSEK/history` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. The x402 challenge advertises a maximum cost of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335… on Base), which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). The platform emphasizes simplicity: no API keys, no rate limits, no subscriptions — just attach an x402 payment header to each call. The payment is sent to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 with a 300-second timeout.
Documentation is extremely sparse. The landing page lists available endpoints and pricing but provides no request/response schemas, parameter descriptions, or example payloads. The docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional content. Because of this, the exact request body format and response structure must be discovered by the caller. The endpoint is confirmed live (402 challenge returned successfully).

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing. However, there is no documentation, no request/response schema, no examples, and no description of supported parameters. The crawled docs/pricing/README pages are all empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. This is effectively a stub listing.
