x402-gated account balance endpoint on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides an account balance lookup via the x402 payment protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/accounts/164/balance` is one of many endpoints offered by the lowpaymentfee.com platform, which hosts a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services. All endpoints on the platform are priced at $0.02 per request, 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 (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals. No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is granted purely through the x402 payment header. The response MIME type is application/json.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what the balance endpoint actually returns or what input parameters it expects. The endpoint path suggests it retrieves the balance of account ID 164, but the semantics (financial balance, credit balance, token balance, etc.) are not documented.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge confirmed) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no documentation, no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no explanation of what the balance endpoint returns. The docs pages are empty beyond a wallet connect prompt. This is effectively a stub listing.

- —No OpenAPI or request/response schema provided
- —Unclear what 'account 164 balance' represents — no semantic description
