📊 Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper

🚀 Export Etherscan gas tracker data in seconds. Structured records direct from the public api.etherscan.io endpoint to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 8 fields per record · Public REST API · Etherscan gas tracker

The Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper turns the api.etherscan.io public REST endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It calls the endpoint with the parameters you supply, parses the JSON, and flattens each record into one row.

Dataset coverage depends on the upstream source. All field names are clean snake_case / camelCase, numeric strings are auto-cast to numbers, and upstream rate-limit notes are surfaced as a clean error record instead of crashing your pipeline.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
📊 Analysts	Pull structured records for analysis
🏢 Finance teams	Snapshot data for dashboards and reports
🤖 ML engineers	Build training sets from public sources
📰 Journalists	Verify numbers for stories with one click
👩‍💻 Developers	Mirror upstream data into your own DB without writing client code
🎓 Researchers	Run reproducible studies on public data

📋 What the Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper does

• Calls the public api.etherscan.io endpoint.
• Parses the JSON response and flattens each record into a clean row.
• Casts numeric fields to numbers so they import cleanly into Excel and BI tools.
• Surfaces upstream rate-limit or error notes as a single-row error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: The raw Etherscan gas tracker JSON is verbose and hard to consume in spreadsheets. This actor normalizes the payload into one row per record so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
pollCount	integer	No	Number of snapshots (1 per second).
maxItems	integer	No	Free users: 10. Paid users: up to 1,000,000. Prefill: 10.

Example 1:

{
  "pollCount": 5
}

Example 2:

{
  "pollCount": 60
}

⚠️ Good to Know: The Etherscan gas tracker API is rate-limited. This actor surfaces rate-limit notes as a clean error record so your downstream pipeline can decide how to retry.

📊 Output

Each record is a flat object. error is always last.

Field	Type	Description
🧱 lastBlock	string	Latest Ethereum block number.
🐢 safeGasPrice	number	Safe-low gas price (gwei).
🚶 proposeGasPrice	number	Standard gas price (gwei).
🚀 fastGasPrice	number	Fast gas price (gwei).
💵 suggestBaseFee	number	Suggested base fee (gwei).
📊 gasUsedRatio	string	Recent block fullness ratios.
🕒 scrapedAt	string	Fetch timestamp.
❌ error	string	Set on upstream error.
