# Ethereum Staking Overview API

> Ethereum Staking Overview API is a paid API for AI agents from api.web3identity.com, paid per call via x402, $0.010000/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns Ethereum staking statistics including validator count, current APR, and total ETH staked across protocols

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.web3identity.com/api/staking
- Price: $0.010000/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15

- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/api-web3identity-com-174b209c
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_rYb0dIdz9tFaQ1RrLcF7f

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-web3identity-com-174b209c
```

Example prompt: What's the current Ethereum staking overview — how many validators are active, what's the APR, and how much ETH is staked in total right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, aggregated snapshot of Ethereum staking health — APR, validator count, and total staked — without needing to query the Ethereum beacon chain directly. Best for dashboards, DeFi analysis agents, or any workflow that needs current staking yield data with minimal setup.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402): x402 micropayment not completed or invalid — endpoint requires $0.01 USDC per call
- Network or upstream data unavailable: stale or missing staking data from Ethereum beacon chain
- Rate limiting or gateway errors (429/503): too many requests in a short window
- Malformed response if upstream indexer is syncing or behind on validator counts

## How this service works

Ethereum staking overview with validators, APR, and total staked

## Output

Returns an object with Ethereum staking data: current APR as a decimal, number of active validators, total ETH staked, and an array of staking protocol breakdowns.
