NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This x402-enabled endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves NFT metadata for token ID 4 via a POST request. Payment is settled on the Base network using USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) through the x402 exact-payment scheme. The maximum amount required per call is 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals), which equals $0.02 USD per request.
The provider's landing page advertises a broad suite of pay-per-request APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). All endpoints are listed at $0.02 per request with no API keys, no rate limits, and no minimum commitments. However, this specific listing covers only the `/api/v1/nfts/4/metadata` endpoint, which returns NFT metadata in JSON format.
The endpoint is confirmed live — the probe received a proper HTTP 402 challenge with x402 version 1 headers. No OpenAPI schema, detailed documentation, or example responses were found in the crawl. The exact structure of the returned NFT metadata is unknown, so consumers should expect a standard JSON metadata object but verify the response shape at runtime.
