NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint serves NFT metadata for token ID 26 via the x402 payment protocol on the Base network. It accepts POST requests and returns JSON. Payment is settled in USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base) using the "exact" scheme, with a maximum amount of 20,000 base units — equivalent to $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals. No API keys or rate limits are required; access is gated entirely by the x402 micropayment challenge.
The endpoint is part of a broader platform at lowpaymentfee.com that offers dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request. However, this specific listing covers only the NFT metadata route at /api/v1/nfts/26/metadata. The platform advertises no minimums, no commitments, and instant access.
Because there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation beyond the landing page, and no example request/response payloads available, the actual structure of the returned NFT metadata is unknown. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a proper 402 challenge), but the content and quality of the metadata it serves cannot be verified from the available material.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid 402 challenge and clear pricing ($0.02 USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI schema, no documentation of request/response formats, and no example payloads. The actual NFT metadata content is entirely unknown, making this effectively a stub listing.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available — request and response formats are unknown.
- —Only token ID 26 is referenced in this endpoint path; unclear if other token IDs are supported via different routes.
- —No crawled documentation beyond a landing page listing many endpoints with identical pricing — actual functionality is unverified.
- —The platform pages (/api, /pricing, /README) all returned only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no useful content.
