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 166) behind an x402 paywall. It is part of a broader platform offering various pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request and settled in USDC on the Base network.
The endpoint accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is handled via the x402 protocol: callers must include an X-PAYMENT header with a valid payment proof. The x402 challenge specifies an exact-scheme payment of 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 gated purely by micropayment.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. The specific behavior of the /accounts/{id}/balance endpoint (request body schema, response fields) is not documented anywhere in the crawled material. This particular endpoint is not listed on the homepage's API catalog, making its purpose and output schema unclear beyond the generic "Premium API Access" label.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge confirmed) and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no documentation for this specific endpoint, no request/response schema, no examples, and the docs pages are empty. The endpoint isn't even listed in the site's own API catalog, making its purpose and output largely unknown.
Warnings
- —This specific endpoint (/api/v1/accounts/166/balance) is not listed in the provider's own API catalog on the homepage
- —All documentation pages (docs, pricing, API, README) render only 'Connect wallet' with no usable content
- —No request body schema or response schema is available — behavior must be discovered experimentally
- —The endpoint path contains a hardcoded account ID (166); it is unclear whether other account IDs are supported or what authorization model applies
