# Gas Estimator Platform API

## Overview

Gas Estimator Platform provides access to:

* Get X% probability for next-block inclusion and choose your ideal balance between confirmation and gas savings. Unlock the power of precise gas predictions! With our Gas Price Predictor, you can choose 99% probability for quick confirmation or 70% probability to save gas over multiple blocks. Take control of your transactions now!

## Authentication

A valid Mempool Node API Key is required in the `Authorization` Header of every request.

Create an account and retrieve your API Key [here](https://dashboard.mempoolnode.com)

## API

To interact with our Gas Estimation Platform via API, you must utilise our API Endpoints:

## ethGasEstimator

<mark style="color:blue;">`GET`</mark> `https://gasapi.mempoolnode.com/ethGasEstimator`

Returns a range of confidence intervals for gas prices needed to qualify a transaction for inclusion in the next block. Order of confidence intervals is subject to change.
