Pay-per-call employee data API on Base via x402, settled in USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to employee data records via the x402 payment protocol. The specific resource `/api/v1/employees/60` returns JSON data for employee ID 60 when a valid USDC micro-payment is submitted on the Base network. The endpoint accepts POST requests and requires an X-PAYMENT header containing the x402 payment proof.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform (lowpaymentfee.com) that offers dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and infrastructure utilities — all priced at $0.02 per request. The platform advertises no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access; payment is the only authentication mechanism. The x402 challenge specifies a maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals.
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 example payloads available. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the actual shape of the employee data returned after payment is unknown.
