# Free frozen example of a paid response

`GET /v1/sample`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.m2msentinel.com`
- URL: `https://api.m2msentinel.com/v1/sample`
- Auth: none required

A structurally complete example of one paid response, captured from the same code path the paid route uses. Free and never payment-gated. The values are not current: the payload is nested under `response` and the envelope carries `sample: true` and `capturedAt` so a snapshot can never be mistaken for live data. Frozen rather than live for two reasons: a live preview of gas, price or liquidity data would give away the thing being sold, and a sample that calls an upstream provider can fail, which would mark the listing failing in directories that re-probe it.

## Query parameters

- `name` 'gas-fees' | 'dex-metrics' | 'token-price' | 'whale-signals' | 'transaction-preflight', required

## Response `200`
