  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_gasPrice",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

JavaScript

// Get Optimism L2 gas price
const response = await fetch('https://api-optimism-mainnet-archive.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY', {
  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 = BigInt(data.result);
const gasPriceGwei = Number(gasPriceWei) / 1e9;
console.log('Optimism L2 Gas Price:', gasPriceGwei, 'gwei');

Response Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x1dcd6500"

This represents approximately 0.5 gwei, much lower than Ethereum mainnet.
