Check account balance via x402 micropayment on Base network for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns account balance information for a specific account (account ID 143) behind an x402 paywall. It is part of a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/accounts/143/balance` accepts POST requests and requires an X-PAYMENT header conforming to the x402 protocol (version 1, "exact" scheme). The maximum amount required is 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals. Payment is sent to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 with a 300-second timeout. The response MIME type is application/json.
The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access. Documentation pages (/docs, /pricing, /README) appear to require wallet connection and contain no substantive content in the crawl. There is no OpenAPI schema, no detailed request/response documentation, and no examples of what the balance response payload looks like. The endpoint is live (returns a valid 402 challenge), but the actual functionality behind the paywall — what fields the balance response contains, what "account 143" refers to — is undocumented in available materials.
