# Vibe Springs Gas Price Lookup

> Vibe Springs Gas Price Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from vibesprings.net, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns current gas prices (fast/standard/slow) and estimated transaction costs for EVM-compatible blockchain networks including Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism

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 vibe-springs-gas-price-lookup-3d56a458
```

Example prompt: What are the current gas prices on Base right now — fast, standard, and slow — and is it a good time to make a transaction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time gas price data for EVM chains (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism) and wants a structured breakdown by speed tier with USD cost estimates — particularly useful before submitting on-chain transactions or advising users on optimal timing. Prefer over raw RPC calls when you want pre-computed cost estimates and human-readable recommendations in one response.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid chain parameter returns error or falls back to default (Base)
- RPC node unavailable leads to timeout or error response
- Chain not supported returns 400 or similar error
- Payment not included or invalid results in 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Real-time gas price oracle for multiple EVM chains. Returns slow/standard/fast fee estimates, estimated transaction costs (ETH transfers, ERC-20 transfers, swaps), and network congestion status. Supports Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with gas prices in gwei for fast, standard, and slow tiers; max fee and max priority fee per tier; estimated confirmation times in seconds; estimated USD costs for common transaction types (ETH transfer, ERC-20 transfer, swap); current block number; network status (e.g. quiet/busy); and a human-readable recommendation about whether it's a good time to transact.
