Check whether a real quote is ready before paying.
SML Quick Quote is a low-cost, loop-friendly market-data primitive. It runs a real-data preflight before the x402 payment guard, so an autonomous agent can discover whether a usable quote exists before it authorizes a $0.001 payment.
Try readiness
Ready.
How to read the result
HTTP 402 means a real provider-backed quote is ready and the endpoint is asking for the current x402 authorization. HTTP 200 with status=alternative means no paid delivery was started; the response explains why and points the caller to the closest live alternative.
What this route optimizes for
Quick Quote favors speed, price, and simple agent loops. It returns the first usable reading from the configured live provider stack rather than waiting to build consensus across several feeds. That makes it useful for watchlists, lightweight pricing checks, routing decisions, and workflows that only need one current provider reading.
What it does not promise
This route is not a multi-provider truth engine, trading recommendation, historical market database, or execution service. Provider source and realtime status are surfaced with the result so downstream code can decide whether that evidence is sufficient for its own task.
Need stronger evidence?
Use Truth Verify when you need independent provider readings, spread, variance, a confidence heuristic, proof hash, and signed evidence. Use Quick Search first if a company name must be resolved into a ticker symbol.
