Pay-per-call premium API access on Base via x402 — $0.02/request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides "Premium API Access" via the x402 payment protocol. It is one of many endpoints offered by the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which hosts a catalog of pay-per-request APIs spanning data & analytics, AI & machine learning, finance & Web3, and infrastructure utilities. All endpoints are priced at $0.02 per request, paid in USDC on the Base network, with no API keys, rate limits, or commitments required.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/payments/178` is labeled "Premium API Access" in the x402 challenge but its exact functionality is not documented beyond that label. The x402 challenge confirms it is live, accepts POST requests, and requires a payment of up to 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…) on Base, which equals $0.02 (USDC uses 6 decimals). Payment is made via the x402 exact scheme to wallet address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3 with a 300-second timeout.
The broader platform advertises endpoints for sentiment analysis, text summarization, classification, embeddings, price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates, geocoding, validation, conversion, and generation — all at the same $0.02 price point. However, documentation pages (docs, pricing, README) returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail, so the actual request/response schemas for this or any endpoint are unknown.
