Timepost — Base Chain Clock
x402
Timepost — Base Chain Clock is a paid API for AI agents from oraclepost.higgsfield.app, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-18).
Returns the latest Base block number and its timestamp, the node's current time, and the lag between chain time and node time — no parameters required.

How this service works
The chain clock on Base: latest block number and its timestamp, plus the node's current time and the lag between them. No parameters. No third-party API, no cache.
Output
Returns the latest Base block number, the Unix timestamp of that block, the node's current wall-clock time, and the computed lag (difference) between node time and block timestamp — all read live from a public node with no cache.
Example use cases
Monitoring Base node clock drift
“Check the Base chain clock for me — I want to know the latest block number, its timestamp, and whether the node's time is drifting significantly behind.”
Timestamping a blockchain event
“What is the exact timestamp of the most recent block on Base? I need to record when something happened on-chain.”
Verifying chain liveness before a transaction
“Before I submit this transaction, can you confirm the Base blockchain is live and up to date by checking the latest block number and how fresh it is?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://oraclepost.higgsfield.app/api/timeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, uncached, real-time Base chain timing data — specifically the latest block number, block timestamp, and node clock drift — without any parameters or configuration. Ideal for agents that need to anchor on-chain time, detect node lag, or verify chain liveness before executing blockchain operations.
Side effects
- Node connectivity issue: the public Base node is unreachable, returning a 5xx error
- Unexpected downtime of the oraclepost.higgsfield.app service
- Payment failure: x402 micropayment not processed, returning 402
- Stale data if the chain itself is experiencing block production delays (lag will appear large)
