Implementation Example

cURL

curl -X POST https://api-avalanche-mainnet-archive.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY/ext/bc/C/rpc \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_gasPrice",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://api-avalanche-mainnet-archive.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY/ext/bc/C/rpc', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'eth_gasPrice',
    params: [],
    id: 1
  })
});

const data = await response.json();
const gasPriceWei = parseInt(data.result, 16);
console.log('Gas price:', gasPriceWei, 'wei');

Response Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x5d21dba00"
