gasprice-tracker-ethereum

gasprice-tracker-ethereum is a lightweight Node.js module that provides real-time gas price estimates and network information using public Ethereum RPC endpoints. It requires no API keys, ensuring a hassle-free setup.

🚀 Features

• Fetch current gas prices (Low, Medium, High) without API keys.
• Get the latest Ethereum block number.
• Retrieve overall network information including block number and gas prices.
• Lightweight and efficient, using only public RPC nodes.
• No third-party API dependencies.

📦 Installation

npm install gasprice-tracker-ethereum

🚀 Usage

const { estimateGasPrices, getBlockNumber, getNetworkInfo } = require('gasprice-tracker-ethereum');

(async () => {
    const gasPrices = await estimateGasPrices();
    console.log("Estimated Gas Prices (Gwei):", gasPrices);
    
    const blockNumber = await getBlockNumber();
    console.log("Current Block Number:", blockNumber);
    
    const networkInfo = await getNetworkInfo();
    console.log("Network Info:", networkInfo);
})();

📚 Methods

estimateGasPrices()

Fetches gas prices in Gwei for different priority levels:

• Low: 90% of the median gas price.
• Medium: Current median gas price.
• High: 110% of the median gas price.

getBlockNumber()

Retrieves the latest Ethereum block number.

getNetworkInfo()

Returns an object containing the latest block number and gas prices.

🔥 Error Handling

If the public RPC provider is down or rate-limited, the functions return null values and log errors to the console.
