Pay-per-call employee salary data endpoint on Base via x402 (USDC, $0.02/request).
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns salary information for a specific employee (ID 182) via a POST request. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC at a cost of $0.02 per request (20,000 base units with 6 decimals). The endpoint requires no API keys, no rate limits, and provides instant access — you 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, finance/Web3 data, and utility services, all priced at $0.02 per request on the Base network. However, this specific listing covers only the `/api/v1/employees/182/salary` endpoint. Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no example payloads available. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 x402 challenge), but the actual response format and accepted request body fields are unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 x402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no documentation beyond a wallet-connect prompt, and the purpose of this specific employee salary endpoint is opaque. Effectively a stub listing.
