x402-gated portfolio endpoint on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC — no API keys needed.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides premium API access to a portfolio resource (portfolio ID 16) via the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader platform that offers data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utility APIs, all gated behind per-request USDC micropayments on the Base network.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/portfolios/16` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on-chain using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913 on Base) with a maximum amount of 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 per call (USDC uses 6 decimals). The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and uses the "exact" payment scheme with a 300-second timeout. No API keys or subscriptions are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The platform advertises uniform $0.02 pricing across all its endpoints, no rate limits, and instant access. However, documentation is extremely sparse: the /docs, /api, /pricing, and /README 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 the "portfolios" resource actually contains or what POST body it expects. The endpoint is confirmed live (402 challenge captured), but without documentation it is difficult to know what data or functionality it provides.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid x402 402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, and no description of what the portfolios resource actually returns. This is effectively a stub listing.
