Check HBAR wallet balances via x402 micropayment — $0.02 per request on Base.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns HBAR (Hedera) wallet balance data, gated behind the x402 payment protocol. Each call costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC on the Base network, where USDC has 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required; callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof to access the endpoint.
The provider operates a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on Base. This specific endpoint focuses on retrieving the balance of an HBAR wallet. The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely thin — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no usage examples available from the crawl. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 x402 challenge), but the lack of documentation means callers will need to experiment to discover the expected request body format and response structure.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing, but there is virtually no documentation — no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schemas, no examples. The request body format and response structure are entirely unknown and had to be guessed. All secondary pages returned only 'Connect wallet' with no content.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages are all empty beyond a wallet connect prompt
- —No OpenAPI or schema definition found; request body format and response structure are unknown
- —The example_request_json is speculative — the actual expected POST body is undocumented
- —Provider lists many endpoints but none have documented schemas; platform maturity is unclear
