Ethereum: How do I discover the miners’ rate for my transaction using the API blockchain.info?
Find miners with blockchain.info
Blockchain.info is a popular platform that allows users to explore, try and develop applications based on Ethereum. One of the features you can take advantage of on this platform is its API (application programming interface), which allows developers to interact with several aspects of the Ethereum network. Specifically, it provides access to transaction data, including rates.
Understand miners’ rates
Miners are responsible for validating transactions in the Ethereum Network and creating new blocks. Its role in determining transaction rates can sometimes be disconcerting. To find out the tariff of the miners for their transaction using the API blockchain.info, you will need to know some things:
* Transaction ID
: You can get this looking for the details of the transaction within the section “My account” on the Blockchain.info board.
* Network rate : This is a mandatory payment for all transactions and determines how much value will be recovered by the miners.
Here is an example of what you can see when recovering the information from your account:
`
{
"Transactionid": "1234567890",
"Blocknumber": 1,
"TIMESTAMP": "2022-01-01T00: 00: 00.000Z",
"Networkfee": {
"Quantity": 10,
"Currency": "eth"
}
}
Establish miners' rates
Blockchain.info allows you to establish the network rate for transactions by clicking on the "frugal", "normal" or "generous" option, depending on your preference. Each option corresponds to a different amount of transaction rates.
Here is an example of how to establish a personalized miners fee using the API:
// Establish a personalized mining rate
Const options = {
Networkfee: {
Amount: 50,
Currency: "eth"
}
};
Fetch (' {
Method: 'post',
Headers: {
'Type of content': 'application/json'
},
Body: Json.stringify (options)
})
.Then (answer => answer.json ())
.Then (data => console.log (data))
.Catch (error => Console.error (error));
`
In conclusion
Establishing miners in blockchain.info is a simple process that allows you to administer the network rates structure. By understanding how to recover transaction data, establish personalized mining rates and navigate the API, you can use this platform effectively to explore, test and develop Ethereum -based applications.
