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 records via the x402 payment protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/employees/65` returns JSON data for employee ID 65 when a valid USDC payment is included in the X-PAYMENT header. The endpoint is live and returns a 402 challenge advertising a maximum cost of 20,000 base units of USDC (0.02 USD) on the Base network.
The provider lowpaymentfee.com hosts a broader catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no commitments. Payments settle on-chain on Base using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913). The x402 challenge specifies the "exact" payment scheme with a 300-second timeout.
Documentation is extremely sparse: the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no example payloads available from the crawl. The actual shape of the employee data returned after payment is unknown and must be discovered by making a paid request.
