Check ADA wallet balances via x402 micropayment on Base for $0.02 per request.
What it does
This endpoint at lowpaymentfee.com returns Cardano (ADA) wallet balance data, gated behind an x402 payment challenge. Each call costs $0.02 (20,000 base units of USDC on the Base network, where USDC has 6 decimals). No API keys or rate limits are required — callers simply attach an X-PAYMENT header with a valid x402 payment proof to access the data.
The provider operates a broad catalog of pay-per-call APIs spanning data analytics, AI/ML inference, finance/Web3 data, and utility services, all priced uniformly at $0.02 per request. This specific endpoint sits in the Finance & Web3 category and is focused on cryptocurrency wallet balance lookups for ADA. The response MIME type is application/json. Payment is settled on the Base L2 network using USDC (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913) with a 300-second payment timeout.
Documentation beyond the landing page is extremely sparse — the /docs, /pricing, /api, and /README pages all render only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no additional technical detail. There is no OpenAPI spec, no request/response schema documentation, and no usage examples available from the crawl. The endpoint is confirmed live (returns a well-formed 402 challenge), but the actual response schema and required POST body are unknown.

Quality
The endpoint is confirmed live with a valid x402 402 challenge, and pricing is clear ($0.02/request in USDC on Base). However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no documented request/response schema, no usage examples, and all documentation pages are empty stubs. The request and response JSON examples are inferred/guessed, not sourced.

- —Response schema is completely undocumented; example_response_json is null because it cannot be inferred
