Pay-per-call employee data API on Base, settled in USDC via x402 at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data (specifically employee ID 116) via an x402-gated POST request. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) at a cost of $0.02 per request (20,000 base units with 6 decimals). No API keys, rate limits, or subscriptions are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform (lowpaymentfee.com) that advertises multiple API categories including data & analytics, AI & ML inference, finance & Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request. However, the specific endpoint being listed here (/api/v1/employees/116) is not documented on the provider's landing page among the advertised API categories. Its exact response schema and the full set of employee fields returned are unknown from the available material.
The x402 challenge was successfully captured (HTTP 402 with a well-formed accepts array), confirming the endpoint is live. The payment timeout is 300 seconds. The output schema indicates the endpoint accepts HTTP POST and is marked as discoverable. No OpenAPI spec, detailed docs, or example responses were found in the crawl.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, this specific employee endpoint is not listed in the provider's own catalog, there is no OpenAPI spec, no response schema, no example responses, and the docs/pricing/README pages all returned only a 'Connect wallet' stub with no useful content.
