Check ETC wallet balances via x402 micropayment on Base network for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns Ethereum Classic (ETC) wallet balance data, gated behind the x402 payment protocol. Each request 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 data.
The endpoint is part of a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs offered by lowpaymentfee.com spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per request. The specific endpoint probed here (`/api/v1/wallet/ETC/balance`) falls under the Finance & Web3 category and is designed to return balance information for ETC addresses.
Documentation on the site 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 schema, no request/response examples, and no description of required input parameters. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the lack of documentation means callers will need to experiment to determine the expected POST body format and response structure.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid x402 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request/response format, no examples, and the site's docs pages are empty. The request body and response structure are entirely inferred.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — docs, API, pricing, and README pages all show only 'Connect wallet' with no technical content
- —Request body format is unknown and inferred; the example_request_json is a guess
- —Response schema is completely unknown
- —No OpenAPI or machine-readable schema provided
