Pay-per-call employee data API on Base via x402, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data (specifically record #38) via the x402 payment protocol. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) with a maximum cost of 20,000 base units, which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals).
The provider lowpaymentfee.com hosts a broader suite of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). All endpoints are advertised at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments.
This specific endpoint (/api/v1/employees/38) is not documented on the provider's landing page among the listed API categories, so its exact response schema and the nature of the employee data it returns are unclear. The x402 challenge was successfully captured (HTTP 402), confirming the endpoint is live and accepting payment-gated requests. No OpenAPI spec, detailed docs, or example responses were found in the crawl.
