NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns NFT metadata for token ID 69 via a POST request. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) through the x402 exact-payment scheme. The maximum amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC, which equals $0.02 (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is gated purely by the x402 payment header.
The provider's landing page lists a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data/analytics, AI/ML (sentiment, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance/Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion). All endpoints are priced at $0.02 per request and settle on Base. However, this specific listing covers only the NFT metadata endpoint at /api/v1/nfts/69/metadata.
Documentation is minimal — no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no example payloads are provided. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the actual structure of the metadata response is unknown. Callers should expect a JSON response (mimeType is application/json) but will need to discover the exact schema experimentally.

Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available — request and response formats are undocumented.
- —Only token ID 69 is addressed by this specific endpoint path; it is unclear whether other token IDs are supported at different paths.
- —Landing page lists many API categories but crawled sub-pages (/api, /pricing, /README) returned no useful content beyond 'Connect wallet'.
