NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves NFT metadata for token ID 97 via a POST request, gated behind the x402 payment protocol. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network (maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units with 6 decimals = $0.02). No API keys or accounts are needed — callers attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof and receive JSON metadata in return.
The provider (lowpaymentfee.com) hosts a broader catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on Base. This specific endpoint is part of an NFT-related route (`/api/v1/nfts/97/metadata`), though the exact schema of the returned metadata is not documented. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepts the "exact" payment scheme, and responds with application/json content.
Because there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no examples of what the NFT metadata payload looks like, the actual utility of this endpoint is difficult to evaluate without making a paid call. The provider's landing page confirms the pricing model and general philosophy (no rate limits, no API keys, instant access), but detailed per-endpoint documentation is absent.

Quality
The x402 challenge is live and confirms pricing and payment details, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no request body schema, no response schema, and no documentation for what the NFT metadata contains. This is effectively a stub listing with verified liveness.
