x402-gated premium API access on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC — no API keys required.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides "Premium API Access" via the x402 payment protocol, settling on the Base network using USDC. The specific resource path `/api/v1/trades/195` suggests a trades-related data endpoint, though the exact response payload is not documented. The site advertises a broad catalog of x402-gated APIs spanning data & analytics, AI & machine learning, finance & Web3, and infrastructure utilities, all priced at $0.02 per request.
The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepting POST requests with an exact-payment scheme. The max amount required is 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02. Payment is sent to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3` on Base, with a 300-second timeout. No API keys or rate limits are advertised — access is granted purely through per-request micropayment.
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 description of what the `/api/v1/trades/195` endpoint actually returns. The endpoint appears to be part of a larger platform offering many similarly priced endpoints, but without documentation it is unclear what input parameters are accepted or what data is returned.
