Ethereum: Obtaining a “500 internal server” response when using the API estimate endpoint
When trying to estimate the cost of an Ethereum transaction using the end of the Secure Transaction Service API (STS), you can find a “500 internal server error”. This problem is not related to any data or information provided in the request as confirmed by the safe transaction service.
The question:
Error 500 indicates that there was a problem with the server side infrastructure. In this case, it is likely to be due to an unexpected condition that prevented the STS API from processing your request correctly. The “internal server error” message provides more detailed information about what went wrong, but in most cases you will not have to intervene or purify more.
Estimates API terminal:
The end point of the estimate is used to estimate the costs of Ethereum transactions. It is a posting request that takes two parameters: key etx.
`Bash
Curl -x ‘post’ \
‘
`
Here are some possible reasons why you are receiving this error:
* Invalid or absent key
: Make sure the key parameter is a valid ethereum wallet key.
* Incorrect transaction format : Make sure your transaction follows the API syntax. For example, if you are using a multi -account tx object, make sure they are defined correctly and linked.
* congestion or network overload
: If you are making several requests to the STS API simultaneously, it may be experimenting congestion of the network or being overloaded. This can cause the server side infrastructure not respond.
Debug Steps:
To solve this problem, try the following:
- Check that your key is valid and formatted correctly for Ethereum transactions.
- Make sure your transaction follows the correct syntax and structure.
- If you are making multiple requests simultaneously, consider increasing the number of simultaneous connections or reducing the frequency of requests.
Example of case use:
Suppose you have a reliable wallet with an existing private key (0x …). You can use it to estimate the cost of a transaction as follows:
Bash
Curl -x ‘post’ \
‘https: //safe-transaction-sepoly.safe.global/api/v1/safes/estimate? Key = 0x … & tx = …
`
If you find any problems or errors during this process, consider consulting the STS API documentation and your support features for more assistance.
Conclusion:
The “500 internal server error” when using the estimate endpoint is usually caused by an unexpected condition on the server side. Make sure your key is valid, follow the correct transaction format and make sure you are making multiple requests simultaneously. If the problems persist, consult the STS API documentation and the support features for additional guidelines.
