# Delx Base Gas

> Delx Base Gas is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Returns a real-time snapshot of Ethereum Base network gas price, base fee, and priority fee via live JSON-RPC for $0.001 USDC.

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 delx-base-gas-959f3066 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas fees on the Base network right now — base fee, priority fee, and overall gas price?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time, low-latency gas fee snapshot specifically for the Base (Coinbase L2) network and want a simple pay-per-call model at $0.001 USDC without managing your own RPC infrastructure or API keys.

## Known failure modes

- RPC node unavailable or timeout — returns 503 or error payload
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required) — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body — returns 400 with validation error
- Base network congestion causing stale or delayed RPC response

## How this service works

Look up Base gas price, base fee, and priority fee for $0.001 USDC. Call when you need a live fee snapshot before sending a transaction—not a gas estimator that executes a call and not financial advice. Returns JSON-RPC fee fields via x402. No API key, no subscription.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the current gas price, EIP-1559 base fee, and priority fee (tip) on the Base L2 network, along with the latest block number and timestamp at time of query, sourced directly via live JSON-RPC.
