# Base Network Snapshot

> Base Network Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from appearing-clinics-show-wrote.trycloudflare.com, paid per call via x402, price unknown, status down (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns live Base mainnet network status including block height, chain-head age, gas price in wei and gwei, timestamp, and source provenance from official Base RPC.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://appearing-clinics-show-wrote.trycloudflare.com/base-network-sample
- Price: price unknown
- Payment: x402
- Status: down
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/base-network-snapshot-51e0d75a
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Jo4Y9gzoghkrltQCwc7Hz

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 base-network-snapshot-51e0d75a
```

Example prompt: What are the current Base mainnet network stats — block height, how old the chain head is, and gas price in gwei?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost snapshot of Base mainnet network conditions — especially current gas price and chain-tip freshness — without setting up your own RPC connection. Ideal for agents that need to decide whether to submit a transaction, monitor chain liveness, or display network stats. Prefer over generic Ethereum endpoints when the target chain is specifically Base (Coinbase L2).

## Known failure modes

- RPC endpoint unavailable or rate-limited — may return stale or empty data
- Cloudflare tunnel timeout — transient 5xx or connection reset
- Malformed JSON if the upstream Base RPC batch call fails
- Chain reorg edge cases may briefly return an inconsistent block height

## How this service works

Free Base mainnet snapshot sample. The paid $0.0011 service returns live block height, chain-head age, gas price in wei and gwei, timestamp, and source provenance from a bounded official Base RPC batch.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the current Base mainnet block height, age of the chain head (how many seconds since the last block), gas price expressed in both wei and gwei, the block timestamp, and source provenance indicating which official Base RPC endpoint supplied the data.
