Get Fee Recommendations

Through this endpoint customers can obtain fee recommendations. Our fees recommendations are based on Mempool data which makes them much more accurate than fees based on already mined blocks. Calculations are done in real time live. Using this endpoint customers can get gas price for Ethereum, fee per byte for Bitcoin, etc.

Single Result - This endpoint returns only one single result. GET /blockchain-data/{blockchain}/{network}/mempool/fees
