Pay-per-call employee salary data endpoint on Base via x402, settled in USDC.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves employee salary data for a specific employee record (ID 108). It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) through the x402 exact-payment scheme.
The endpoint charges a maximum of 20,000 base units of USDC per request. Since USDC uses 6 decimals, that translates to $0.02 per call — consistent with the provider's site-wide flat pricing of $0.02/request. No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is gated entirely by the x402 payment header. The provider hosts a broader catalog of endpoints spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/crypto feeds, and utility services, all at the same $0.02 price point.
Documentation is extremely thin. The crawled /docs, /api, /pricing, and /README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema beyond the x402 challenge's outputSchema stub, and no example payloads. The endpoint path suggests it returns salary information for employee 108, but the exact request body format and response structure are unknown. Treat this as a demonstration or early-stage endpoint until richer documentation appears.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, and the endpoint covers only a single hardcoded employee ID. Effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available — request body format and response structure are unknown
- —All documentation pages (/docs, /api, /pricing, /README) returned only 'Connect wallet' with no content
- —Endpoint path is hardcoded to employee ID 108; unclear if other employee IDs are supported
- —Provider appears to be a demo or early-stage platform; reliability and data authenticity are unverified
