NFT metadata endpoint on Base, pay-per-call via x402 with USDC at $0.02/request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com serves NFT metadata for token ID 75 via a POST request, gated by the x402 payment protocol. Each call costs $0.02 in USDC on the Base network (maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units with 6 decimals = $0.02). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof to access the resource.
The provider operates a broader platform offering dozens of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference (sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, embeddings), finance/Web3 data (price feeds, exchange rates, gas estimates), and infrastructure utilities (geocoding, validation, conversion). All endpoints share the same $0.02/request pricing model and settle on the Base L2 network using USDC. The specific endpoint listed here returns application/json content and is discoverable via the x402 challenge.
Because this is a single NFT metadata endpoint (token ID 75), its utility is narrow compared to the platform's full catalog. No OpenAPI schema, request body format, or response examples are documented in the crawled material, so the exact fields expected in the POST body and the structure of the returned metadata are unknown. The platform landing page confirms the endpoint is live and part of a larger suite, but detailed documentation was not available at the crawled pages.

Quality
The endpoint is live (402 challenge captured) and pricing is clear ($0.02 USDC on Base), but there is no OpenAPI schema, no documented request body format, no response examples, and the endpoint serves metadata for a single hardcoded token ID. Documentation pages returned only 'Connect wallet' with no useful content.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available — request body format and response structure are unknown
- —Endpoint is scoped to a single NFT token ID (75); unclear if other token IDs are available at different paths
- —Documentation pages (/api, /pricing, /README) returned no meaningful content beyond 'Connect wallet'
- —The broader platform advertises many API categories but none were verified beyond the landing page listing
