# /v1/estimate\_gas\_price - Aptos

Example code for the /v1/estimate\_gas\_price json-rpc method. Сomplete guide on how to use /v1/estimate\_gas\_price json-rpc in GetBlock.io Web3 documentation.

This endpoint gets the estimated gas price for executing a transaction in the Aptos blockchain network.

## Supported Network

* Mainnet

## Parameter

None

## Request

**Base URL**

```bash
https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>
```

**Example(cURL)**\*

```curl
curl --location 'https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>/v1/estimate_gas_price'
```

## Response Example

```json
{
    "deprioritized_gas_estimate": 100,
    "gas_estimate": 100,
    "prioritized_gas_estimate": 150
}

```

## Response parameter definition

| **Field**                    | **Type** | **Description**                                                            |
| ---------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| deprioritized\_gas\_estimate | String   | Lower gas price estimate — slower inclusion, suitable for non-urgent txns. |
| gas\_estimate                | String   | Standard recommended gas price (balanced option).                          |
| prioritized\_gas\_estimate   | String   | Higher gas price estimate — ensures faster transaction processing.         |

## Use Cases

This method can be used for:

* Wallets can auto-suggest gas fees based on the user's urgency.
* dApps can provide a “fast/normal/slow” fee slider to users.
* Developers can programmatically ensure transactions won’t fail due to low gas.
* Cost optimisation for batch transactions.

## Code example

**Node(axios)**

```js
const axios = require('axios');

let config = {
  method: 'get',
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: 'https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>/v1/estimate_gas_price',
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});


```

**Python(Request)**

```python
import requests

url = "https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>/v1/estimate_gas_price"
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
```

## Error handling

| **Status Code** | **Error Message**     | **Cause**                                    |
| --------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **403**         | Forbidden             | Missing or invalid \<ACCESS\_TOKEN>.         |
| **500**         | Internal server error | Node or network failure when estimating gas. |

## Integration with Web3

By integrating `/v1/estimate_gas_price` into dApp, developers can:

* Provide real-time fee estimation inside wallets and dApps.
* Improve transaction confirmation rates by suggesting optimal gas.
* Enhance user experience with clear trade-offs (fast vs cheap).
* Avoid failed transactions due to underpriced gas.
