HIPAA health records endpoint payable per-request via x402 on Base (USDC).
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to HIPAA-related health records via a pay-per-call x402 protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/hipaa/records/24` returns JSON data when a valid x402 payment header is supplied. Payment is settled in USDC on the Base network.
The x402 challenge indicates a maximum cost of 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02 per request. The provider's landing page confirms a flat $0.02/request pricing model across all their API endpoints, with no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access. The endpoint accepts POST requests.
The provider operates a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all at the same $0.02 price point. However, documentation is extremely thin: 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 explanation of what data the HIPAA records endpoint actually returns or what input parameters it expects. The "HIPAA" label raises significant regulatory concerns — it is unclear whether this endpoint handles actual Protected Health Information (PHI) or is simply a demo/placeholder.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, and the HIPAA label raises serious regulatory red flags with no evidence of actual compliance. This is effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — docs, pricing, and API pages only show 'Connect wallet'
- —No OpenAPI or request/response schema provided; input parameters and output format are unknown
- —Endpoint claims to serve HIPAA records but there is no evidence of actual HIPAA compliance, Business Associate Agreements, or regulatory certifications
- —The specific resource '/api/v1/hipaa/records/24' may be a demo or placeholder — unable to verify from available material
- —Regulated health data category — consumers must independently verify compliance before use
