Another method of getting the gas fee on ETH

in blog •  8 months ago 

I am currently checking different approaches to get the gas fee on ETH, because from 14/Feb/2024, the infrua API has a rate limit of 10 requests per second, and previous methods may be impacted.

const getGasPrice = async () => {
const body = {
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    method: "eth_gasPrice",
    params: [],
    id: 1
};

try {
    const response = await fetch(MAIN_ENDPOINT, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(body),
    });

    const data = await response.json();
    const wei = parseInt(data.result, 16); // Convert hex to decimal
    const gwei = wei / 1e9; // Convert wei to gwei

    return {
        wei: wei,
        gwei: gwei,
    };
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching gas price:', error);
    return null;
}

};

From 14/Feb, the Steem2ETH may be impacted, but I'll find out how to resolve this.

!ask how to get eth fee?

To determine the current Ethereum (ETH) fee, commonly referred to as gas fees, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Ethereum Blockchain Explorer: Websites like Etherscan.io or Etherchain.org provide real-time information on gas prices. They display current gas prices for different transaction speeds (slow, average, fast).

2. Use Wallet Services: Many cryptocurrency wallets, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet, display current gas fees when you initiate a transaction. They often offer suggestions for optimal gas prices based on current network conditions.

3. Gas Price Estimators: Some websites offer gas price estimators that analyze recent transactions to predict appropriate gas fees. GasNow.org is an example of such a service.

4. Ethereum Network Status: Ethereum network status websites often provide information on gas prices and network congestion. Websites like EthGasStation.info or GasTracker.io offer such data.

5. Smart Contract Calls: If you're interacting with a smart contract, some dApps (decentralized applications) provide gas fee estimations based on the specific function you're trying to execute.

Remember that Ethereum gas fees can fluctuate widely depending on network congestion and market demand. It's a good practice to check multiple sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
