important | about estimatefee endpoint

hi,

i need to get estimated fee per bye using blockbook, does your endpoint return fee for 1KB? or does it return estimated fee? how can i get fee per byte using blockbook?

thanks, dante

There is only websockedtendpoint for fee estimate. For bitcoin type coins, it returns fee for 1KB to get to the given block.

sometimes it returns -1 for 1 block pass estimation, i dont understand why, 2/3/4 etc. works fine, but 1 returns -1, is there a reason?

[martinboehm]

It returns -1 when backend returns -1. It may not have the estimate for 1 block pass. I do not know what coin you are using but for less used coins the fee estimate does not work very well.

i got -1 from Doge

I'm using Litecoin, Ravencoin, Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Testnet. I only get -1 when using Dogecoin, but it's not a big deal, thanks!
