Check BAT wallet balance via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns the wallet balance for the Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs offered by lowpaymentfee.com, spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities. All endpoints on the platform use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/wallet/BAT/balance` accepts POST requests and is gated behind an x402 challenge. The maximum amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC (which uses 6 decimals), equating to $0.02 per request. No API keys are needed; payment is handled inline via the X-PAYMENT header. The response MIME type is application/json.
Documentation on the site is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no usage examples available from the crawled material. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the actual response schema for a successful paid call is unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request body schema, no response schema, and no usage examples. The docs pages are empty stubs. The actual functionality (what input is expected, what the response looks like) must be entirely inferred from the URL path.
