Pay-per-call employee data endpoint on Base via x402, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data (specifically employee record #132) via a POST request. Payment is handled inline using the x402 protocol on the Base network, settling in USDC (contract 0x8335…2913). The advertised maximum cost per request is 20,000 base units of USDC, which equals $0.02 (two cents) per call.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform (lowpaymentfee.com) that offers a variety of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance & Web3, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request. The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access. However, the specific endpoint being listed here (/api/v1/employees/132) is not explicitly mentioned on the provider's landing page among the advertised API categories, so its exact response schema and data content are unclear.
The endpoint returned a valid 402 challenge when probed, confirming it is live. Documentation pages (/docs, /pricing, /api, /README) all returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content, so there is no detailed schema, example request/response, or further documentation available for this specific resource.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge, but there is no documentation, no response schema, no example payloads, and the specific /employees/132 resource is not listed among the provider's advertised APIs. Effectively a stub listing.
