HIPAA records endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to HIPAA records via a pay-per-request x402 payment protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/hipaa/records/79` is part of a broader platform offering dozens of APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance, crypto, infrastructure utilities, and — as in this case — healthcare-related data. All endpoints on the platform share a uniform $0.02 per request pricing model settled in USDC on the Base network.
The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live and accepts POST requests. Payment is made via the x402 "exact" scheme, requiring up to 20,000 base units of USDC (0.02 USD, since USDC uses 6 decimals) per call, paid to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3` on Base. The asset contract `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913` is the canonical Base USDC contract. No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is gated purely by payment.
Documentation is extremely sparse. The crawled docs, API, pricing, and README pages all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what the HIPAA records endpoint actually returns or what input it expects. The endpoint path suggests it retrieves a specific record by ID (79), but the actual data schema, required POST body, and response format are unknown. Given the HIPAA label, this endpoint likely involves protected health information, which raises significant regulatory considerations.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Retrieving HIPAA-compliant health records programmatically
- —Agent-driven access to medical data with per-request micropayments

Fit
Best for
- —Developers needing on-demand HIPAA record access without API key management
- —AI agents that can settle x402 payments on Base
- —Applications requiring low-cost, pay-as-you-go health data retrieval
Not for
- —Users who need detailed API documentation or response schemas before integrating
- —Production healthcare systems requiring verified HIPAA compliance certifications

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge, confirming pricing and payment details. However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no meaningful documentation — all doc pages return only 'Connect wallet'. The HIPAA label raises regulatory concerns with zero compliance documentation provided. This is effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No documentation available — all doc/API/pricing/README pages return only 'Connect wallet'
- —No request body schema or response schema provided; unknown what data is returned
- —Endpoint claims to serve HIPAA records but no compliance certifications, BAA information, or privacy documentation is available
- —Regulated healthcare data category — users should independently verify legal and compliance requirements
- —The specific record ID (79) in the URL path is hardcoded; unclear if this is a demo or production resource
