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 29 from the lowpaymentfee.com platform. It is part of a broader suite of pay-per-request APIs offered by the same provider, spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3, and infrastructure utilities. All endpoints use the x402 payment protocol, settling in USDC on the Base network.
The specific endpoint at `/api/v1/nfts/29/metadata` accepts POST requests and returns JSON. The x402 challenge advertises a maximum cost of 20,000 base units of USDC (0x8335…2913 on Base), which equals $0.02 per request (USDC uses 6 decimals). Payment is made via the `exact` scheme with a 300-second timeout. No API keys or rate limits are advertised; access is gated entirely by the x402 micropayment.
The provider's landing page lists a uniform $0.02/request price across all endpoints. Documentation beyond the landing page is minimal — the /api, /pricing, and /README routes all resolve to a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no example payloads available. The actual content of the NFT metadata returned is unknown from the available material.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 402 challenge, confirming it is operational. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema, no example payloads, and no documentation beyond a landing page listing. The actual content returned after payment is entirely unknown.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI or schema documentation available
- —No example request or response bodies; actual NFT metadata content is unknown
- —Provider docs pages (/api, /pricing, /README) all return only a 'Connect wallet' prompt with no useful information
- —This endpoint is scoped to a single NFT token ID (29); generalizability is unclear
