MINA OHLCV candlestick data via x402 micropayment — $0.02 per request on Base.
What it does
This endpoint provides OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) candlestick data for the MINA cryptocurrency token. It is part of the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which offers a suite of data, analytics, AI, finance, and utility APIs all priced at $0.02 per request using the x402 payment protocol.
The endpoint is accessed via HTTP POST and is gated by an x402 payment challenge. Payment is settled in USDC on the Base network. The max amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02. No API keys or accounts are needed — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof. The platform advertises no rate limits and instant access.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse. The /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no documentation of query parameters (e.g., timeframe, date range, or exchange). The OHLCV data format and supported parameters must be inferred from the endpoint path alone. Callers should expect a JSON response containing typical OHLCV fields but should be prepared for undocumented structure.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge with clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and all documentation pages are empty stubs showing only 'Connect wallet'. The actual request parameters and response format are completely undocumented.
Warnings

- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema describing request parameters (timeframe, date range, exchange, etc.) or response format.
- —Response structure for OHLCV data is entirely undocumented and must be discovered empirically.
- —The specific MINA/ohlcv endpoint is not listed on the landing page's API catalog, though similar crypto endpoints are.
