x402-gated premium API access on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides "Premium API Access" behind an x402 paywall on the Base network. The site hosts a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI & machine learning (sentiment analysis, text 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, settled in USDC on Base with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/charges/76` is labeled "Premium API Access" in the x402 challenge. Its maxAmountRequired is 20000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02. Payment is made via the x402 exact scheme by including an X-PAYMENT header with a signed USDC transfer to the payTo address on Base. The endpoint accepts HTTP POST and returns application/json.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no examples available. It is unclear what specific data or functionality the `/api/v1/charges/76` endpoint returns, as the site's landing page lists many different API categories but does not map charge IDs to specific services. The endpoint is confirmed live (402 challenge captured).

There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no examples, and the specific function of /api/v1/charges/76 is unclear. Pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base).
