PancakeSwap TVL data via x402 micropayment — $0.02/request on Base network
What it does
This endpoint returns PancakeSwap Total Value Locked (TVL) data, accessible through the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader API platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers DeFi, finance, AI, and utility endpoints, all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no commitments required.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/defi/pancakeswap/tvl` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). The x402 challenge advertises a maxAmountRequired of 20000 base units, which equals $0.02 (USDC uses 6 decimals). The payment is sent to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 with a timeout of 300 seconds.
Note that while the endpoint is live and returns a valid 402 challenge, the crawled documentation is extremely thin — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI schema, no example request/response payloads, and no documentation describing the shape of the TVL data returned. The endpoint is listed under the "Finance & Web3" category on the landing page, but the specific PancakeSwap TVL endpoint is not shown there (only generic finance endpoints are listed). Use with the understanding that response format is undocumented.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge with clear pricing, but there is zero documentation on request parameters or response schema. The docs pages are empty ("Connect wallet" only). The specific PancakeSwap TVL endpoint isn't even listed on the landing page catalog. This is effectively a stub listing.
Warnings

- —All documentation pages (docs, API, pricing, README) render only 'Connect wallet' with no content
