## Response Parameters

| Field         | Type   | Description                             |
| ------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------- |
| oldestBlock   | string | Oldest block in returned range (hex).   |
| baseFeePerGas | array  | Base fee per gas for each block (hex).  |
| gasUsedRatio  | array  | Gas used ratio (0 to 1) for each block. |
| reward        | array  | Priority fee percentiles per block.     |

## Use Case

The `eth_feeHistory` method is essential for:

* EIP-1559 fee estimation
* Dynamic gas price strategies
* Transaction cost prediction
* Fee optimization algorithms
* Network congestion analysis

## Error Handling

| Error Code | Message        | Cause                               |
| ---------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| -32602     | Invalid params | Invalid block count or percentiles. |
| -32603     | Internal error | Node issue.                         |
