x402-gated employee data endpoint on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves employee data behind an x402 payment wall. The specific resource `/api/v1/employees/175` returns JSON data for employee record 175 when a valid X-PAYMENT header is provided. 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 catalog of x402-gated APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per call. The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access. However, documentation pages beyond the landing page returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content, so the actual data schema of the employee response, available fields, and the full employee ID range are unknown.
Because the endpoint is live (returning a proper 402 challenge) and pricing is clear, agents can integrate immediately using the x402 protocol. The POST method is specified in the outputSchema. No OpenAPI spec or detailed docs were found, so callers will need to discover the response format empirically.

Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid 402 challenge and clear pricing, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no response schema, and all documentation pages returned only a wallet-connect prompt. The actual data returned by this employee endpoint is completely undocumented, making it effectively a stub listing.
