Pay-per-call API platform on Base network via x402 — $0.02/request, no API keys required.
What it does
lowpaymentfee.com is a pay-per-request API platform that uses the x402 protocol to accept USDC payments on the Base network. The specific endpoint `/api/v1/trades/25` is listed under "Premium API Access" and accepts POST requests. The platform advertises a flat $0.02 per request across all endpoints, with no API keys, no rate limits, and instant access.
The broader platform offers endpoints across four categories: Data & Analytics (metrics, reports, data export, insights), AI & Machine Learning (sentiment analysis, text summarization, classification, embeddings), Finance & Web3 (price feeds, exchange rates, token quotes, gas estimates), and Infrastructure (geocoding, validation, conversion, generation). However, the specific `/api/v1/trades/25` endpoint probed here does not appear in any of these listed categories on the landing page, and its exact functionality is unclear — the description simply says "Premium API Access."
The x402 challenge confirms the endpoint is live, accepting payments in USDC (contract `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`) on Base with a max amount of 20,000 base units (i.e., $0.02 given USDC's 6 decimals). Payment is settled to address `0x1A2B13E97f5F837C8F9FA1F95a1484B7C70d85F3` using the "exact" scheme. Documentation pages beyond the landing page returned only a "Connect wallet" prompt with no substantive content, so the actual request/response schema for this endpoint is unknown.
