How this service works
Satoshi API next-block forecast: Bitcoin block fee pressure and inclusion timing for agents deciding whether to broadcast now.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the forecasted next block's height, transaction count, median/max/min fee rates (sat/vByte), total fees in BTC, total weight, and an array of the top 5 transactions by fee rate (txid, fee_rate, fee_sats). Also includes metadata such as chain, cache age, node height, sync status, and request timestamp.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What does the next Bitcoin block look like right now — how many transactions are queued, what's the median fee rate, and which transactions are paying the highest fees?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://cdp.bitcoinsapi.com/api/v1/mining/nextblock?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent or wallet needs to decide whether to broadcast a Bitcoin transaction immediately, estimate the fee needed for next-block inclusion, or monitor real-time mempool pressure. It is specifically optimized for next-block forecasting with human-agent-friendly output, unlike raw mempool RPC calls. Prefer this over the general fee landscape endpoint when you specifically need next-block data and top transaction context.
Side effects
- Node syncing: if syncing=true in meta, data may be stale or incomplete
- Null fee fields: max_fee_rate, min_fee_rate, total_fees_btc, median_fee_rate may return null if insufficient mempool data
- Payment required: HTTP 402 if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient (requires $0.01 USDC per call)
- Empty top_5 array: returned if mempool is near-empty
- Network errors or node unavailability may return 5xx errors
