## 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 base-network-gas-price-lookup-5c627f85
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Base mainnet right now, in both wei and gwei?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, real-time gas price figure for Base mainnet without running your own node or managing RPC credentials. It is ideal for lightweight agents, dashboards, or DeFi bots that need a quick cost-of-transaction estimate before submitting onchain actions on Base L2. It is not suitable for Ethereum mainnet, other L2s, or historical gas price data.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node temporarily unavailable — may return a 5xx error
- Network congestion causing stale or delayed gas price reading
- Invalid query parameter value (ignored gracefully, always returns Base mainnet data regardless)
- Rate limiting or payment failure resulting in 402 or 429 response

## How this service works

Current gas price on Base from public RPC (wei + gwei). Optional query network=base for schema probes. e.g. GET /v1/gas/base

## Output

A JSON object containing the network name ('base'), the current gas price in wei as a string (e.g. '1000000000'), and the current gas price in gwei as a decimal string (e.g. '1.0'). Values are sourced from the Base public RPC in real time.
