You can get "fee quotes" from miners (IE: https://developers.whatsonchain.com/#fee-quotes) However, after getting the quote, you would need to generate the tx and then do the fee calculations. Minercraft is a package intended to help with those requests. In JS - there is: https://github.com/interplanaria/minercraft In Go - there is: https://github.com/tonicpow/go-minercraft

Further to that, TxForge is a tx builder that provides an estimate fee function that is implemented the same was as in Minercraft. It defaults to 0.5 sats per byte for both data and standard rates, but you can provide a rates object from minercraft to calculate using different rates. -> https://github.com/libitx/txforge

@libs i have integrated paypresto, does it support EUR or only USD?

libs replied:

@exist right now only USD. To clarify, invoices are always raised in satoshis. When rendered the widget displays the USD amount alongside the satoshi amount. I could make that an option you pass in when you embed the widget - eg you tell paypresto the currency your users wants to see.

@libs, it would be excellent if the ccy could be passed to the widget, my application is using EUR
