Check account balance via x402 micropayment on Base network for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns account balance information for a specific account (account ID 136) behind an x402 paywall. It is part of a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-call API endpoints spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint `/api/v1/accounts/136/balance` accepts POST requests and requires an X-PAYMENT header conforming to the x402 protocol (version 1, "exact" scheme). Payment is made in USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base) to address 0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3. The maxAmountRequired is 20000 base units, which equals $0.02 (USDC uses 6 decimals). The endpoint returns JSON.
The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access. Documentation pages (/docs, /pricing, /README) appear to require wallet connection and contain no substantive content in the crawl. As a result, the exact response schema and the meaning of "account 136 balance" are unclear — it could be a demo/sample account or a user-specific resource. The broader platform lists many endpoints but details on each are sparse.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no documentation, no response schema, no examples, and the purpose of this specific account balance endpoint is ambiguous. Docs pages all returned only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no content.
Warnings
