# manylives.me Base Network Block Info

> manylives.me Base Network Block Info is a paid API for AI agents from manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Fetches key metadata for a Base network block — hash, timestamp, transaction count, gas used/limit, base fee, and fee recipient — for the latest block or a specific block number.

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 manylives-me-base-network-block-info-6aceae3f
```

Example prompt: What does the latest Base network block look like — can you give me its hash, timestamp, transaction count, gas used, and base fee?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, structured block metadata from the Base network (an Ethereum L2) without running your own node or paying for a full RPC provider. Ideal for agents that need block confirmation timestamps, gas fee snapshots, or transaction volume at a specific block height. Prefer this over raw RPC calls when you want a clean, parsed JSON response without ABI decoding or node infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or future block number returns an error or empty result
- Network connectivity issues to Base RPC may cause timeouts
- Very recent blocks may not yet be finalized and could be unavailable
- Malformed block number string (non-numeric) may cause a 400 error

## How this service works

A Base network block (latest, or by number): hash, time, transaction count, gas used and limit, base fee and fee recipient.

## Output

A JSON object containing the block hash, ISO 8601 timestamp, block number, gas used, gas limit, transaction count, base fee in gwei, and the fee recipient address for the requested Base network block.
