## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time EVM gas prices and are already operating in the x402 micropayment ecosystem on minia2a.uk, especially if you also use sibling endpoints like x402-wallet-intel or x402-address-parse and want a unified provider for blockchain data lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Network or upstream gas oracle is unavailable — may return 503 or empty data
- Invalid query parameters result in a 400 error
- Payment not processed or x402 payment header missing — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without valid payment
