eth_feeHistory - AVAX

Example code for the eth_feeHistory JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use eth_feeHistory JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

Returns historical base fees and priority fee percentiles over a window of recent C-Chain blocks. Use it to build a fee oracle that adapts to recent network conditions.

Parameters
