Live crypto market data: BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC (USD Coin) prices with 24h change (source: OKX), Base mainnet chain snapshot (block height, gas price gwei), real-time USDC-on-Base transfer analytics (transfer count, volume, unique senders and recipients over recent blocks), and USDC/ETH wallet balances plus nonce for any address. Agent utility tools: deterministic JSON repair for LLM output (strip code fences, fix trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, balance braces), DNS A/AAAA lookup, and URL extraction from arbitrary text. Every endpoint returns HTTP 402 with an x402 payment challenge in USDC on Base; pay with any wallet and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header. MCP server at /mcp (streamable HTTP, 6 pay-per-call tools). Ideal for crypto portfolios, DeFi dashboards, market analysis agents, data pipelines, and LLM post-processing.","url":"https://baseusdcearn.pythonanywhere.com/util/time","method":"GET","headers":{},"bodySchema":{"type":"object","properties":{"properties":{"type":"string"}}},"responseSchema":{"type":"json","example":{"chain":{"chainId":8453,"network":"base-mainnet","blockHeight":21000000,"gasPriceGwei":0.05},"market":{"solana":{"usd":150,"usd_24h_change":-0.5},"bitcoin":{"usd":60000,"usd_24h_change":1.5},"ethereum":{"usd":3000,"usd_24h_change":2},"usd-coin":{"usd":1,"usd_24h_change":0}},"servedAt":1755430000}},"example":null,"exampleRequest":null,"tags":["x402"],"displayCostAmount":"0.0005","displayCostAsset":"USDC","priceDynamic":false,"priceHint":null,"priceStatus":"priced","priceSource":"probe","requiresHandshake":false,"reviewCount":0,"rating":{"score":"0.00","successRate":"0.00","reviews":0,"stars":null,"state":"unrated"},"availabilityStatus":"unknown","priceObserved":null,"sessionDeposit":null,"pricing":{"kind":"static","summary":"$0.0005/call","primary":{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.0005","per":"call","confidence":"exact"},"accepted":[{"kind":"static","protocol":"x402","network":"base","amountUsd":"0.0005","per":"call","confidence":"exact"}]},"paymentMethods":[{"uid":"pm_3j6KhMxUVwow4KRYvYCX5","protocol":"x402","methodType":"crypto","chain":"base","mode":"charge","costAmount":"0.0005","costPer":"request","priority":0,"asset":"0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913","unit":"request","depositMicros":null,"planRef":null}],"brandName":null,"brandSlug":null,"brandBaseUrl":null,"brandDocsUrl":null,"whatItDoes":"Returns a live snapshot of current server time alongside Base mainnet chain stats and BTC/ETH/SOL/USDC market prices with 24h change, paid per-call in USDC on Base via x402.","exampleAgentPrompt":"What are the current prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USDC right now, and what's the latest block height and gas price on Base mainnet?","exampleUseCases":[{"title":"Live crypto dashboard data feed","prompt":"Pull the latest BTC, ETH, SOL, and USDC prices along with their 24-hour changes, and also grab the current Base mainnet block height and gas price so I can update my DeFi dashboard."},{"title":"Gas price check before on-chain transaction","prompt":"Before I send this transaction on Base, what's the current gas price in gwei and the latest block height on Base mainnet?"},{"title":"Crypto portfolio morning briefing","prompt":"Give me a quick market pulse — current prices and overnight 24h changes for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, plus the Base network status right now."}],"resultDescription":"A JSON object containing: chain info (chainId, network name, block height, gas price in gwei), market prices and 24h percent change for bitcoin, ethereum, solana, and usd-coin (sourced from OKX), and a servedAt Unix timestamp.","failureModes":["HTTP 402 returned if x402 USDC payment on Base not provided or signature invalid","stale market data if OKX feed is delayed","Base RPC timeout causing missing chain fields","malformed payment header results in payment rejection"],"whenToPreferThis":"Choose this endpoint when you need a single low-cost pay-per-call snapshot combining crypto market prices and Base chain stats without API keys or subscriptions — ideal for agents that need occasional price checks or chain status rather than a high-frequency streaming feed.
