# eth\_feehistory tempo

Returns historical base fees and priority fee percentiles over a window of recent blocks. Useful for building fee oracles, though Tempo's stable-fee design means the data is unusually flat.

## Parameters

| Parameter         | Type            | Required | Description                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| blockCount        | string          | Yes      | Number of blocks in the window (hex, max 1024)                  |
| newestBlock       | string          | Yes      | The newest block in the window — hex number or tag              |
| rewardPercentiles | array of number | Yes      | Percentiles to compute over priority fees (e.g. `[25, 50, 75]`) |
