Base network and fee status

Endpoint

https://apiacre.com/v1/crypto/base-network-status

Send the JSON body below. An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header; an x402-compatible buyer signs the requirement and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.

Agent one-call path

Optional third-party AgentCash can inspect this route and handle the x402 retry. This example does not pass its payment auto-confirm flag and caps the call at exactly $0.001 USDC. Review the local wallet and request before approving payment.
