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/35` returns JSON data for employee ID 35 when called with a POST request and a valid X-PAYMENT header containing a USDC payment on the Base network.
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 utility services — all priced at $0.02 per request. The x402 challenge confirms the price: maxAmountRequired of 20,000 base units of USDC (6 decimals) equals $0.02. Payment is sent to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3` on the Base L2 network, with a 300-second timeout window.
Documentation is extremely sparse — the docs, pricing, and API pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no further content. There is no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what fields the employee record contains. The endpoint is confirmed live (402 challenge returned), but the actual data payload and its structure are unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing, but there is no documentation, no OpenAPI schema, no request/response examples, and no description of what the employee data actually contains. The docs pages are empty beyond a wallet-connect prompt. This is effectively a stub listing.
Warnings

- —No OpenAPI or JSON schema describing request parameters or response fields
- —Unknown what data fields the employee record contains
- —No information on data source, freshness, or accuracy of employee records
- —The broader platform lists many endpoints but none have documented schemas
