chainlinkoracles
I use the market.link to check available jobs and each job has its own price in terms of link. My question is how many times this fee will be paid?
For example:
Let's say the API GET request costs 0.01 link. If I trigger a function that triggers ORACLE for a GET call, are we going to pay only 0.01 no matter how many miners execute it? Or is it going to cost 0.01 x numberOfMiners since each transaction will run by all the miners of the network?
No, they are not free. Each oracle service comes with a price. You can learn more about the services they offer and their prices from the following link.
For your specific search, you can go to this link.
If you like to learn more and prefer video, I suggest the following video.
On your link you have the contract address, which is 0x169e633a2d1e6c10dd91238ba11c4a708dfef37c
And you have this specific function that you can call to get the current gwei:
function latestRoundData()
public
view
virtual
override
returns (
uint80 roundId,
int256 answer,
uint256 startedAt,
uint256 updatedAt,
uint80 answeredInRound
);
It will returns something like this:
You can call this function from your smart contract if needed, if you want the USD price, you can do the same process by multiplying ETH/USD price by GWEI, ETH/USD

A few clarifications
0.1 LINKthat is per API call / data request.Similar to how blockchains have their own transaction gas, oracles have this oracle gas.
