How this service works
Pay-per-call utility APIs in USDC on Base: Hebrew calendar and text tools, Shabbat times, Base token control-risk screen and address summary, plus finance arithmetic tools. General information and arithmetic only; not investment, tax or legal advice and not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.
Output
A JSON object containing the current Base blockchain block number as an integer and the block's timestamp in ISO 8601 format (e.g. {"block_number": 12345678, "timestamp_iso": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"})
Example use cases
Smart contract deployment timing
“What block is Base on right now? I need to know the current block number and timestamp before I deploy my contract so I can set the correct starting block for event indexing.”
On-chain data freshness check
“Can you grab the latest Base block number and its timestamp so I can verify my local node is in sync with the actual chain?”
Blockchain activity monitoring
“Check the current Base blockchain block number for me — I want to track how fast blocks are being produced and compare it to what I checked an hour ago.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://heb-utils-x402.hebutils-api.workers.dev/base-block-number?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup of the current Base L2 block number and timestamp without managing your own RPC node or API keys. Prefer it over raw RPC calls when you want a simple REST interface with micropayment billing and no monthly subscription commitment.
Side effects
- Base RPC node unavailable — returns an error if the underlying Base node is unreachable
- Rate limiting — too many requests without valid x402 payment may result in 402 Payment Required
- Network congestion — slight delays in block propagation may cause minor staleness in response
- Invalid payment — missing or invalid USDC payment header returns 402
