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 68 via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base, with a maximum amount of 20,000 base units — equivalent to $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required; access is granted instantly upon payment.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers a variety of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint (/api/v1/nfts/68/metadata) is not listed on the site's main catalog, but it follows the same x402 pattern and pricing as the other endpoints.
The x402 challenge was successfully captured (HTTP 402 with a well-formed accepts array), confirming the endpoint is live. However, no OpenAPI schema, request/response examples, or detailed documentation are available. The exact structure of the NFT metadata response is unknown — it is only described as application/json. The platform's docs, pricing, and README pages all resolve to a minimal "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail.
