## Web3 Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Ethers.js" %}

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Get fee data (uses feeHistory internally)
const feeData = await provider.getFeeData();
console.log('Base fee:', ethers.formatUnits(feeData.gasPrice, 'gwei'), 'Gwei');
console.log('Max fee:', ethers.formatUnits(feeData.maxFeePerGas, 'gwei'), 'Gwei');
console.log('Priority fee:', ethers.formatUnits(feeData.maxPriorityFeePerGas, 'gwei'), 'Gwei');

// Direct feeHistory call
const feeHistory = await provider.send('eth_feeHistory', ['0x5', 'latest', [25, 50, 75]]);
console.log('Base fees:', feeHistory.baseFeePerGas);
```
