## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cascade-style signal for a specific U.S. equity ticker and are operating in an x402-compatible payment environment with USDC on Base. It is best suited for agents that can handle micropayment settlement natively and need per-call, on-demand signal data rather than bulk or subscription-based feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid ticker symbol returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Unknown or unsupported ticker symbol may return null or empty signal
- Service unavailability on Render hosting may cause 503 errors
- Malformed request body (missing required 'symbol' field) returns a validation error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, Section 8/HUD housing, and compliance APIs via x402. Primary: USDC on Base (eip155:8453). Also accepts Global Dollar (USDG) on Robinhood Chain (eip155:4663) via sovereign X-PAYMENT-TX. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/gas-tracker, /x402/pha-lookup, /x402/sec-8k). MARKETPLACE REVIEW: use free /x402/playground/* (no key, no payment). Production /x402/* returns 402 unless paid via x402 or X-Api-Market-Key / X-API-Key from seller dashboard.

## Output

Returns cascade signal data for the requested equity ticker, likely including signal strength, direction, or related computed indicators. The response is returned after a per-call USDC payment is settled on Base via the x402 protocol.
