x402-gated employee data endpoint on Base, pay $0.02 per request in USDC.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com provides access to an employee record (ID 195) behind an x402 paywall. The provider operates a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data & analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities, all gated via the x402 protocol on the Base network. Each request costs $0.02 in USDC (USD Coin) with no API keys, rate limits, or subscriptions required.
The specific resource `/api/v1/employees/195` is labeled "Premium API Access" and accepts HTTP POST requests. It returns `application/json` content. The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, advertising a maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals → $0.02) on Base, payable to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3`. The payment timeout is 300 seconds.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, API, pricing, and README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, and no description of what fields the employee record contains. The endpoint's purpose and response structure must be inferred entirely from its URL path and the x402 challenge metadata.

Quality
