# Tanod chainpeek Base Gas Price

> Tanod chainpeek Base Gas Price is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns the current Base network gas price in gwei, including base fee, priority fee, and next block estimate, for pricing Base transactions.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://tanod.dev/v1/gas/base?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.001/call

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 tanod-chainpeek-base-gas-price-6b5edd63
```

Example prompt: What's the current gas price on Base right now — give me the base fee and priority fee in gwei so I can price my transaction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need real-time gas pricing for the Base network (Coinbase's Ethereum L2) to price or estimate transaction fees. Prefer this over generic Ethereum gas APIs when operating on Base rather than Ethereum mainnet or other L2s. It is pay-per-call with no subscription required, making it ideal for sporadic agent use.

## Known failure modes

- Network unavailability of the Base RPC node may cause stale or missing data
- Payment failure (x402 micropayment not accepted) returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting may occur under high request frequency
- Returned gwei values may lag by one block if fetched at block boundary

## How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the current Base network chain identifier, latest block number, total gas price in gwei (and wei), base fee in gwei, priority fee in gwei, and a 'next' pagination or refresh URL for polling.
