Pay-per-call stock data for CME via x402 on Base, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides stock/market data for CME (CME Group) through a simple POST request, paid per call using the x402 protocol. The endpoint is live and returns a 402 challenge advertising payment in USDC on the Base network at a cost of $0.02 per request (20,000 base units with 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof to receive the response.
The provider operates a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-call endpoints spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/crypto market data, and utility services, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. The specific /api/v1/stocks/CME endpoint falls under the finance category and likely returns JSON-formatted stock or market data for CME Group. However, the exact response schema is not documented — the crawled docs pages, pricing page, and README all returned only a "Connect wallet" stub with no further technical detail.
Payment is settled on the Base L2 network to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). The x402 challenge specifies a maximum timeout of 300 seconds and uses the "exact" payment scheme. Because no OpenAPI spec, response examples, or detailed documentation are available, the actual fields returned in the stock data response remain unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no OpenAPI spec, no response schema, no request body documentation, and no example responses. The docs, pricing, and README pages all returned empty 'Connect wallet' stubs. The actual data returned is entirely unknown.
