x402-gated portfolio endpoint on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC — no API keys required.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides premium API access to a portfolio resource (`/api/v1/portfolios/3`) via the x402 payment protocol. It is part of a broader platform offering data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and infrastructure utility endpoints — all gated behind per-request micropayments settled in USDC on the Base network.
The specific `/api/v1/portfolios/3` endpoint 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). The platform's landing page confirms a flat $0.02/request pricing model across all endpoints with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the /docs, /api, /pricing, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no usage examples available. The endpoint name "portfolios/3" and the description "Premium API Access" give very little indication of what data is actually returned. The endpoint is confirmed live (402 challenge captured), but without documentation it is difficult to know what request body to send or what response to expect.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid x402 402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, no request/response schema, and no examples. The purpose of '/api/v1/portfolios/3' is entirely opaque. This is effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README all render only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no content.
