## 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 padelmaps-org-6e8e55b6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on Ethereum right now — give me the low, medium, high, and instant tiers with USD cost estimates and tell me if it's a good time to send a transaction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current Ethereum gas price data with EIP-1559 decomposition (base fee + priority fee) and an actionable transaction recommendation, especially when USD cost estimates and confirmation-time tiers are required. Prefer over generic RPC eth_gasPrice calls when you want structured, human-readable tier breakdowns and network congestion guidance in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported chain identifier returns an error
- Upstream Etherscan API outage causes stale or missing data
- Malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request
- Payment not received or USDC balance insufficient causes 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Get real-time gas prices with EIP-1559 data and recommendations

## Output

Returns EIP-1559 base fee (wei and gwei), low/medium/high priority fee suggestions, four gas price tiers (low/medium/high/instant) each with wei, gwei, estimated confirmation time in seconds, ETH cost, and USD cost, plus current ETH/USD price, a network status label (e.g. 'low'), and a recommendation object indicating whether to transact now or wait.
