Gas Station API

Overview

The Gas Station API provides a comprehensive interface for managing transaction fees (gas) on different blockchains. It allows users to query gas balances for wallets, top-up gas, and retrieve the current gas prices for various chains. By integrating with this API, developers can ensure seamless management of gas for wallet transactions on different blockchain networks.

Key Features

  • Top-Up Wallets: Automatically top up gas for wallets on specific chains.
  • Query Wallet Gas: Retrieve the current gas balance for any wallet or the root wallet of a blockchain.
  • Transaction Gas Estimation: Estimate the required gas for a specific transaction before execution.
  • Retrieve Gas Prices: Get the latest gas prices, including fast, normal, and slow speeds, for any supported blockchain.

Benefits

  • Streamlined Gas Management: Automates gas top-ups for wallets, saving time and effort.
  • Accurate Transaction Costs: Estimate transaction gas fees with precision before initiating transactions.
  • Seamless Integration: Easy-to-use SDK for programmatically managing gas across multiple chains.
  • Scalable: Designed to handle gas management for both individual wallets and larger systems managing multiple wallets.

Use Cases

  1. Automated Wallet Top-Ups: Automate the process of topping up gas for wallets used in high-frequency transactions.
  2. Transaction Estimation for DApps: Provide users with accurate gas estimates for their transactions, ensuring they pay the correct fees.
  3. Gas Price Monitoring: Monitor gas prices across multiple blockchains to optimize transaction costs.
  4. Multi-Chain Applications: Manage gas for wallets on different blockchains from a single service.

Non Use Cases

  1. Crypto Storage Management: The API does not handle wallet balances or storage of cryptocurrencies.
  2. Chain-specific Operations: The API does not support chain-specific operations outside of gas management.
  3. Direct Token Transfers: Token transfers are outside the scope of the Gas Station API.

Getting Started

To begin using the Gas Station API:

  1. Obtain API Keys: Ensure you have the necessary credentials to access the API endpoints.
  2. Explore the Endpoints:
  3. Integrate the API: Use the SDK provided to integrate gas management features into your application. The SDK supports programmatically managing top-ups, querying gas balances, and retrieving gas prices.

Note: As this service is currently in beta, it may be subject to changes. We recommend staying updated with our documentation and release notes for the latest information.
