Pay-per-call ZEC token data endpoint on Base via x402, $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides token data for ZEC (Zcash) via a simple POST request, paid per call using the x402 protocol. Payment is settled in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per request (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). No API keys or accounts are required — callers attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof and receive a JSON response.
The endpoint is part of a broader suite of APIs offered by lowpaymentfee.com spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance & Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. The specific `/api/v1/tokens/ZEC` path falls under the Finance & Web3 category, likely returning price or market data for the ZEC token, though the exact response schema is not documented.
The x402 challenge was successfully captured, confirming the endpoint is live. However, documentation 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 spec, no example request/response, and no description of what fields the ZEC token endpoint returns. Callers should expect a JSON response but will need to experiment to determine the exact payload structure.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, and all documentation pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. The actual data returned for ZEC is unknown, making this effectively a stub listing.
