How this service works
EVM gas oracle for any major chain - Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB, Avalanche: next-block baseFee plus slow, med and fast priority-fee tiers (maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas), read live from chain state in one call. Choose network (default Ethereum). EIP-1559 and legacy handled.
Output
Returns the current Base L2 gas price as a numeric value in gwei, sourced live from the Base chain via eth_gasPrice RPC call.
Example use cases
Monitor Base gas before swapping tokens
“Check the gas price on Base before I execute my token swap so I can decide if now's a good time to trade.”
Alert me when Base fees drop low
“Keep checking Base L2 gas prices and let me know as soon as they drop below 5 gwei so I can batch my transactions.”
Estimate transaction costs on Base
“What's the current gas cost on Base right now? I need to know how much it'll cost me to bridge some tokens over.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentstools.dev/gasWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the current real-time gas price on the Base L2 network specifically, as opposed to Ethereum mainnet or other L2s. Ideal for agents that need to estimate transaction costs, time transactions for low-fee windows, or gate actions on gas price thresholds on Base.
Side effects
- Chain RPC node unavailable or lagging — stale or missing price data
- Network congestion causing delayed response
- Payment not authorized (x402 payment required, $0.005 USDC per call)
- Malformed request if HTTP method is not GET/HEAD/DELETE
