CME market quote data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) market quote data behind an x402 paywall. It is part of a broader platform offering data & analytics, AI/ML, finance, and infrastructure APIs, all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no commitments required.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/market/quote/CME` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) via the x402 "exact" scheme. The max amount required is 20,000 base units, which at 6 decimals equals $0.02 USD per call. The payment recipient address is 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3, and the payment timeout is 300 seconds.
Documentation is extremely sparse. The crawled docs, API, pricing, and README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what fields the CME quote contains or what parameters the POST body accepts. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns 402 challenge), but the actual data content and request format must be inferred from the endpoint path alone.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid x402 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no API documentation, no request/response schema, no examples, and the docs pages are all empty beyond a wallet connect prompt. The actual data content of the CME quote is unknown.
