Yearn Finance APY data via x402 micropayment on Base, $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint returns Yearn Finance APY (Annual Percentage Yield) data through the x402 payment protocol. It is hosted on lowpaymentfee.com, a platform that offers a variety of pay-per-call APIs spanning DeFi, analytics, AI/ML, finance, and utility categories. Each request costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network — no API keys, no rate limits, and no subscriptions required.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/defi/yearn/apy` is a POST endpoint that accepts JSON and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol: callers attach an `X-PAYMENT` header containing a signed USDC payment of up to 20,000 base units (i.e., $0.02, since USDC uses 6 decimals) to the payee address on Base. The endpoint responds with Yearn vault APY information, though the exact response schema is not documented in the available materials.
The platform advertises a broad catalog of endpoints at the same $0.02 price point, including price feeds, gas estimates, sentiment analysis, text summarization, and more. Documentation pages (docs, pricing, README) appear to be behind a wallet-connect gate and did not yield substantive content during crawling, so detailed request/response schemas and field-level documentation are unavailable.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) with clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base), but documentation pages are gated behind wallet-connect and yielded no content. No request/response schema, no example payloads, and no detailed description of what fields the Yearn APY response contains. The listing is functional but essentially a stub in terms of developer documentation.
Warnings
- —Documentation, pricing, and README pages are behind a wallet-connect gate and returned no useful content during crawl.
- —No request body schema or response schema is available — the exact fields returned are unknown.
- —The endpoint path suggests Yearn APY data but no details confirm the scope (which vaults, which chains, etc.).
