NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint serves NFT metadata for token ID 53 via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base) with a maximum amount of 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers multiple pay-per-call APIs across categories including data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint (/api/v1/nfts/53/metadata) is focused on NFT metadata retrieval. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and accepting payments on Base mainnet.
Because there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation beyond the landing page, and no example request/response payloads, the exact structure of the returned NFT metadata is unknown. Callers should expect a standard JSON metadata object (likely conforming to ERC-721 metadata conventions), but this is inferred rather than documented.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge confirmed) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no documentation beyond a generic landing page. The specific NFT metadata structure is entirely unknown, making this effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available for this endpoint
- —No example request or response payloads — metadata structure is unknown
- —Endpoint is scoped to a single NFT token ID (53); unclear if other token IDs are available at similar paths
- —Landing page lists many API categories but none link to docs; /api, /pricing, and /README pages all just show 'Connect wallet'
