How this service works
Studio sells 6 per-call jobs over HTTP, paid in USDC on base via x402 or direct transfer.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the chain name, chainId, current baseFeeGwei, gasPriceWei, gasPriceGwei, and the timestamp when the data was fetched (fetchedAt). Also includes a status field ('delivered') and the offerId and invoiceId for payment tracking.
Example use cases
Pre-transaction gas cost check
“Before I send this transaction on Base, can you check what the current gas price is in Gwei so I know what fee to expect?”
Ethereum gas price monitoring alert
“Check the current gas price on Ethereum and let me know if it's under 20 Gwei — I want to time my transaction when it's cheap.”
DeFi bot fee optimization
“Fetch the latest gas price on Base so my trading bot can decide whether it's cost-effective to submit this swap right now.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://short.desknav.ai/jobs/gas-priceWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a real-time, pay-per-call gas price quote for either the Base L2 or Ethereum mainnet and want a simple HTTP API without setting up your own RPC node. Ideal for AI agents, bots, or serverless functions that need on-demand gas price data without a subscription, with payment settled automatically in USDC via x402.
Side effects
- Invalid chain value (not 'base' or 'ethereum') returns a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 if insufficient USDC balance prevents call completion
- Network or RPC unavailability may cause stale or missing gas data
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in rapid succession
