Pay-per-call employee data API on Base, settled in USDC via x402 at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data (specifically employee record #172) via the x402 payment protocol. The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) with a maximum cost of 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals).
The provider lowpaymentfee.com hosts a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). All endpoints are advertised at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments required.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what fields the employee endpoint accepts or returns. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 x402 challenge), but without documentation it is unclear what input the POST body should contain or what shape the response takes.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid 402 x402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and all documentation pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The purpose of the employee data endpoint is not explained, making this effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all show only 'Connect wallet' with no content
- —No OpenAPI or schema definition; request body format and response shape are unknown
- —The specific data returned for employee #172 is undocumented — unclear if this is sample/demo data or a real dataset
- —Provider hosts many diverse API categories (AI, finance, geo, etc.) all at the same price, which may indicate a demo or placeholder site
