Get the current price of OCEAN token via a pay-per-call x402 endpoint on Base.
What it does
This endpoint returns the current price of the OCEAN token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of pay-per-request APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol on the Base network, settling in USDC.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/tokens/OCEAN/price` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC (maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units with 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — payment is handled inline via the x402 `X-PAYMENT` header. The endpoint was confirmed live, returning a proper 402 challenge with x402 version 1.
Documentation on the site is minimal: the docs, pricing, and API 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's actual data source for OCEAN token pricing is not documented.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, no example payloads, and the docs pages are empty stubs. The actual data source and response format are unknown, making this effectively a stub listing.
