How this service works
Base gas oracle / Base gas price API / Base L2 gas fee tracker / real-time gas estimator / swap cost estimator. Returns the current Base fee, fast/standard/slow priority tiers, the USD cost of a typical swap, and a congestion recommendation. For AI agents, trading bots, and wallets timing transactions on Base to minimize gas.
Output
Returns live Base network data including current base fee, fast/standard/slow gas price tiers (in gwei or wei), estimated USD cost for a swap at each tier, and a human-readable congestion recommendation indicating whether network conditions favor immediate transactions.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What are the current gas prices on Base — give me the fast, standard, and slow tiers, the USD cost for a typical swap, and whether I should transact now or wait due to congestion.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://base-intel-api.jakemaxsigal.workers.dev/gasWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time gas price data specifically for the Base L2 network, particularly when you need USD cost estimates per swap and a congestion recommendation rather than raw gwei values alone. Prefer this over generic Ethereum gas oracles when operating on Base chain.
Side effects
- Base RPC unavailable — upstream node failure returns 5xx error
- Stale or delayed gas data if Base network is experiencing issues
- 402 Payment Required if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without valid payment
- Unexpected response format if Base network undergoes protocol changes
