Pay-per-call stock data for ticker BDX via x402 on Base, settled in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides stock data for the ticker BDX (Becton, Dickinson and Company) behind an x402 paywall. It is part of a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-request APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no commitments.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/stocks/BDX` accepts HTTP POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) via the x402 "exact" scheme. The maximum amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02. The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live.
Documentation on the site is extremely thin — the docs, pricing, API, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no usage examples available from the crawl. The endpoint's actual response format and the fields it returns for stock data are unknown and must be discovered by making a paid request.
