Pay-per-call employee data API on Base via x402, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data records via the x402 payment protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/employees/20` returns JSON data for employee ID 20, gated behind a per-request USDC micropayment on the Base network. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and accepts exact-scheme payments.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference (sentiment, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). All endpoints are listed at $0.02 per request, payable in USDC on Base with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments.
The probed endpoint specifically charges a maximum of 20,000 base units of USDC (asset 0x8335…2913 on Base, 6 decimals), which equals $0.02 per call. Payment is sent to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 with a 300-second timeout. The response MIME type is application/json. No OpenAPI schema, detailed documentation, or example responses were found in the crawl — the docs, pricing, and API pages all rendered only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional content.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and confirms pricing and payment details, but there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request/response format, no example payloads, and the docs/pricing/API pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The endpoint's actual data shape and fields are entirely unknown.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available — request and response formats are unknown
- —Docs, pricing, and API pages render only 'Connect wallet' with no substantive content
- —The employee data endpoint's fields, filtering options, and error handling are undocumented
- —It is unclear whether this is sample/demo data or a production data source
