Pay-per-call employee data API on Base, settled in USDC via x402 at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data (specifically employee record #161) via the x402 payment protocol. The endpoint 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 inference (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 priced at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments. Payments are made inline via the x402 protocol on the Base L2 network.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further technical detail. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what fields the employee endpoint returns or what input it expects. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the actual data content and schema remain unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no meaningful documentation — every doc page just shows 'Connect wallet'. The actual data returned by the employee endpoint is completely unknown.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — all doc pages render only 'Connect wallet'
- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema describing request parameters or response fields
- —Unknown what employee data fields are returned
- —The specific endpoint /api/v1/employees/161 is not listed on the provider's homepage; it may be a demo or test record
