• get_fx_official

  Official FX rate — one African pair. Official forex reference rate vs USD for one African currency: KES (Kenyan shilling), NGN (naira), GHS (cedi), TZS, UGX, ZAR, EGP, RWF, via Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev). Frankfurter blends published central-bank reference rates; the number is that blend, not a single central-bank fixing. Each response names the source and carries as_of (Frankfurter's rate date) and fetched_at. Price $0.01 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-official price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name. It does not return the rate as a bare payment link.

  Parameters:

  • pair (required) — string — e.g. USD-KES (required)
  • pass_token — string — Shelf Pass token (pass_…). On an eligible shelf the tool returns the data and spends credits. Above the pass ceiling the token is not spent.

• get_fx_parallel

  Street (parallel-market) rate — USD-NGN or USD-GHS.

OKX is archived and does not set the price. Not a central-bank rate and not a bureau de change quote. Price $0.05 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-parallel price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name. It does not return the rate as a bare payment link.

  Parameters:

  • pair (required) — string — USD-NGN or USD-GHS (required)
  • pass_token — string — Shelf Pass token (pass_…). On an eligible shelf the tool returns the data and spends credits. Above the pass ceiling the token is not spent.

• get_fx_africa_brief

  Africa FX daily brief. Every Frankfurter official African forex pair (shilling, naira, cedi, rand and more) plus both Bybit-derived street quotes (USD-NGN and USD-GHS) and their spreads, each row carrying its source and time. One call for a morning pricing check. Price $0.5 USDC on Base (the /shelf/fx-africa-daily-brief price). With a valid Shelf Pass (pass_token or X-SHELF-PASS) on a shelf priced ≤ $0.25, this returns the data. Otherwise it returns payment_required with the x402 v2 URL and header name. It does not return the rate as a bare payment link.

  Texas insurance license CE & renewal check (TDI).

  Shelf Pass — 110 prepaid credits. 110 prepaid credits for $0.99 ($1.10 of calls). 1 credit = $0.01 of list price: a $0.10 carrier check uses 10 credits, a $0.02 sanctions screen uses 2. Valid on data shelves priced at $0.25 or less (FX, carrier, broker and sanctions checks, Texas CE, the load-vet pack, instant Swahili localization). The pass token travels in the X-SHELF-PASS header, so a call needs no separate wallet payment. $0.99 USDC on Base. Returns the x402 URL to GET (402 → PAYMENT-SIGNATURE → delivery).
