Developers

Build with live stats, alert timing, and API access.

EthGasStation helps users make better Ethereum transaction decisions with live stats and alert-based timing. API access supports advanced integrations, but the product is broader than API alone.

Common implementation challenges

  • Teams lack a shared source of live stats before transaction submission.
  • Manual gas watching causes missed low-fee windows and late send decisions.
  • Execution flows break when alerting and auto-send policies are disconnected.
  • API integrations grow without clear scaling tiers or ownership boundaries.

How EthGasStation helps engineering teams

Live stats before send

Pull fee lanes, trends, and pressure signals before transaction assembly.

Alert-based timing

Trigger workflows when gas meets timing thresholds instead of polling manually.

API for advanced automation

Use included API access for deeper integrations and throughput scaling across Free, Basic, and Pro.

Integration pattern

  1. 1

    Fetch live stats before transaction assembly and expose cost/speed tradeoffs to users.

  2. 2

    Set alert thresholds for send timing windows and volatility-triggered safeguards.

  3. 3

    Trigger downstream workflows when policy conditions are satisfied.

  4. 4

    Use API access for advanced orchestration and monitor outcomes to refine policies.

AI Connect (MCP)

Connect ChatGPT

Bring EthGasStation context into ChatGPT and create/manage alerts from chat. AI Connect uses OAuth (no shared API keys) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

  1. In ChatGPT → New App (MCP), set the MCP Server URL to the SSE endpoint.
  2. Select OAuth authentication (Client ID/Secret can be left blank if ChatGPT uses dynamic client registration).
  3. Sign in to EthGasStation and approve scopes (stats:read, alerts:read, alerts:write).

Quick start (HTTP/SSE MCP)

Live environment values are shown below so test/prod setups do not drift.

Self-hosting note: if you route backend APIs under /be via Envoy, ensure /mcp, /.well-known, /oauth2, and /connect are also routed to the backend.

Plan limits by tier

Every plan includes API access and alert capacity. Choose Free, Basic, or Pro based on expected operational load.

FAQ

How quickly can we launch an initial integration?

Most teams can ship a first version in days by wiring API calls into existing transaction flows.

Can we keep our existing RPC stack?

Yes. EthGasStation complements RPC providers by adding gas analytics and decision-oriented context.

What happens when we approach our API cap?

You can upgrade plans to increase monthly request limits without changing integration patterns.
