Pay-per-call stock market quote for AAPL via x402 on Base, settled in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides a real-time market quote for AAPL (Apple Inc.) stock. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-request APIs offered by the same provider, spanning finance, AI/ML, data analytics, and utility services. The endpoint uses the x402 payment protocol on the Base network, accepting USDC payments at $0.02 per request (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The specific endpoint path `/api/v1/market/quote/AAPL` suggests a REST pattern where the ticker symbol is a path parameter, meaning other stock symbols may be available at similar paths (e.g., `/api/v1/market/quote/MSFT`). The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. However, no detailed documentation of the response schema, supported ticker symbols, or data sources is available from the crawled material. The docs, pricing, and API pages all appear to require wallet connection and contain no additional technical content.
The provider's landing page lists a flat $0.02/request pricing model across all endpoints, with no minimums, no commitments, and no API keys. Settlement occurs on the Base L2 network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913). The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live and operational.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and confirms pricing and network details. However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no response examples, no documentation of supported tickers or response fields, and the docs/pricing/API pages are empty (wallet-gated). The listing is largely inferred from the URL pattern and landing page.

- —Documentation pages (docs, pricing, API, README) are all behind a wallet-connect gate and contain no useful content
