Pay-per-call employee data endpoint on Base via x402, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves employee data (specifically record ID 79) behind a micropayment wall. It uses the x402 "exact" payment scheme on the Base network, accepting USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) with a max amount of 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof.
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broader catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). All endpoints appear to be priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. However, the specific endpoint being listed here — /api/v1/employees/79 — is not featured on the provider's landing page catalog, and no documentation or schema for its response body was found.
The endpoint is confirmed live: it returns a proper HTTP 402 challenge with x402 version 1 headers. The POST method is specified in the outputSchema. Because no OpenAPI spec, response schema, or detailed documentation was crawled (docs, pricing, and API pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" stub), the exact shape of the response is unknown. Callers should expect a JSON payload describing an employee record, but the fields are unverified.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge, but there is no OpenAPI spec, no response schema, no documentation beyond a stub landing page, and the specific /employees/79 path is not listed in the provider's own catalog. The response shape is entirely unknown.
