starknet_estimateFee | Alchemy Docs

Estimates the resources required by a given sequence of transactions when applied on a given state. If one of the transactions reverts or fails due to any reason (e.g., validation failure or an internal error), a TRANSACTION_EXECUTION_ERROR is returned. Fees for account transactions are expressed in fri.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.

requestlist of objectsRequired

The transaction to estimate

simulation_flagslist of enumsRequired

Describes what parts of the transaction should be executed

Allowed values:

block_idobject or enumRequired

The hash of the requested block, or number (height) of the requested block, or a block tag, for the block referencing the state or call the transaction on.

Response

The fee estimations

gas_consumedstringformat: "^0x(0|[a-fA-F1-9]{1}[a-fA-F0-9]{0,62})$"

The Ethereum gas consumption of the transaction

gas_pricestringformat: "^0x(0|[a-fA-F1-9]{1}[a-fA-F0-9]{0,62})$"

The gas price (in wei or fri, depending on the tx version) that was used in the cost estimation

data_gas_consumedstringformat: "^0x(0|[a-fA-F1-9]{1}[a-fA-F0-9]{0,62})$"

The Ethereum data gas consumption of the transaction

data_gas_pricestringformat: "^0x(0|[a-fA-F1-9]{1}[a-fA-F0-9]{0,62})$"

The data gas price (in wei or fri, depending on the tx version) that was used in the cost estimation

overall_feestringformat: "^0x(0|[a-fA-F1-9]{1}[a-fA-F0-9]{0,62})$"

The estimated fee for the transaction (in wei or fri, depending on the tx version), equals to gas_consumed * gas_price + data_gas_consumed * data_gas_price
