Retrieve employee salary data via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee salary information (specifically employee ID 86) behind an x402 paywall. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per call (maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units with 6 decimals = $0.02).
The provider, lowpaymentfee.com, hosts a broad catalog of x402-gated APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no commitments. The specific endpoint `/api/v1/employees/86/salary` is not listed on the provider's landing page among the advertised categories, so it may be an unlisted or demo route. No OpenAPI schema, request body specification, or response schema documentation was found in the crawl.
Because the endpoint returned a well-formed 402 challenge with x402Version 1, it is confirmed live. However, the lack of any documentation about what request body fields are expected or what the response payload looks like means agents will need to experiment or have prior knowledge of the API contract. The endpoint is discoverable (outputSchema.input.discoverable is true) and uses the "exact" payment scheme, meaning the full $0.02 is charged per call with a 300-second payment timeout.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live via a valid 402 challenge and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no documentation for request/response schemas, the endpoint is not listed among the provider's advertised APIs, and crawled doc/pricing/API pages returned only 'Connect wallet' with no useful content. Effectively a stub listing.
