NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint serves NFT metadata for token ID 12 via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) on Base, with a maximum amount of 20,000 base units — equivalent to $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required; access is gated entirely by the x402 micropayment challenge.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request. The specific endpoint probed here (/api/v1/nfts/12/metadata) is not listed on the site's landing page catalog, suggesting it may be an additional or unlisted route. The platform advertises no minimums, no commitments, and instant access.
Because there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation beyond the landing page, and no example response for this NFT metadata endpoint, the actual structure and content of the returned metadata are unknown. The x402 challenge is live and well-formed, confirming the endpoint is operational.
