## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time single spot price for a stock, forex pair, crypto, or index via TwelveData, and you are operating in an x402 micropayment environment. It is ideal for lightweight, per-call price lookups without a long-term API key subscription. Prefer it over raw TwelveData if you want to consolidate financial data access under a single x402 paywall gateway.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required – no or invalid X-PAYMENT header; agent must complete x402 payment challenge
- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol returns an error from TwelveData upstream
- Upstream TwelveData outage or rate limit may cause 5xx or timeout
- Missing required 'symbol' field in request body causes validation error

## How this service works

All-in-one reputable data source for AI agents and developers. Crypto spot/OHLC, derivatives funding rates, open interest, liquidations, forex, commodities, indices, social sentiment, DeFi protocols, and more — 17+ upstream data sources behind a single x402 paywall.

Usage: Send requests to any proxied path (e.g. GET /coingecko/api/v3/...). Unauthenticated requests receive a 402 challenge with payment instructions. Include X-PAYMENT header with a valid signature to access data.
