eth_feeHistory - opBNB

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

This method returns historical base fees and priority fee percentiles over a window of recent blocks. Use it to build a fee oracle that adapts to recent network conditions.

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 ("latest", etc.)

rewardPercentiles

array of number

Yes

Percentiles to compute over priority fees (e.g. [25, 50, 75]); may be empty
