NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint serves NFT metadata for token ID 89 on the lowpaymentfee.com platform. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-request APIs offered by the same provider, spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/nfts/89/metadata` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. The x402 challenge advertises a maximum cost of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys are required; payment is handled inline via the X-PAYMENT header. The provider advertises no rate limits and instant access.
Documentation is minimal — the provider's landing page lists available endpoints and pricing but does not provide request/response schemas, parameter descriptions, or example payloads for any endpoint, including this NFT metadata one. The exact structure of the returned metadata (e.g., whether it follows ERC-721 metadata standards with name, description, image fields) is not documented and must be inferred or discovered by making a paid call.

Quick start
curl -X POST https://lowpaymentfee.com/api/v1/nfts/89/metadata \

-H "X-PAYMENT: <x402-payment-token>"Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no documentation of request parameters, response schema, or examples. The NFT metadata use case is narrow (single token ID). No OpenAPI spec or detailed docs are available.
Warnings
- —No request or response schema documented — callers must discover the payload format by trial
- —Endpoint is scoped to a single NFT token ID (89); unclear how to query other tokens
- —Provider landing page lists many API categories but none have detailed documentation
- —The /api, /pricing, and /README pages all returned only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no useful content
