* `transaction_payload` is a hex-encoded serialization of
the TransactionPayload for the transaction.

signatures
If the node cannot provide an estimate for the transaction
(e.g., if the node has never seen a contract-call for the
given contract and function) or if estimation is not
configured on this node, a 400 response is returned.
The 400 response will be a JSON error containing a `reason`
field which can be one of the following:
* `DatabaseError` - this Stacks node has had an internal
database error while trying to estimate the costs of the
supplied transaction.
* `NoEstimateAvailable` - this Stacks node has not seen this
kind of contract-call before, and it cannot provide an
estimate yet.
* `CostEstimationDisabled` - this Stacks node does not perform
fee or cost estimation, and it cannot respond on this
endpoint.
The 200 response contains the following data:
* `estimated_cost` - the estimated multi-dimensional cost of
executing the Clarity VM on the provided transaction.
* `estimated_cost_scalar` - an integer that captures the total
proportion of the block limit that a transaction would be
estimated to consume. This value is multiplied by a fee rate
to suggest the total fee amount to be paid by the node. This
* `estimated_cost_scalar` - a unitless integer that captures
the total proportion of the block limit that a transaction
would be estimated to consume. In order to compute an
estimate of total fee amount for the transaction, this value
is multiplied by the estimated fee rate. This value
incorporates the estimated transaction length.
* `cost_scalar_change_by_byte` - a float value that indicates how
much the `estimated_cost_scalar` value would increase for every
additional byte in the final transaction.
* `estimated_fee_rates` - three estimated values for the current
fee rates in the network
* `estimated_fees` - three estimated values for the total fee that
the given transaction should pay. These values are the result of
computing: `estimated_fee_rates` x `estimated_cost_scalar`
* `estimations` - an array of estimated fee rates and total fees to
pay in microSTX for the transaction. This array provides a range of
estimates (default: 3) that may be used. Each element of the array
contains the following fields:
* `fee_rate` - the estimated value for the current fee
rates in the network
* `fee` - the estimated value for the total fee in
microSTX that the given transaction should pay. These
values are the result of computing:
`fee_rate` x `estimated_cost_scalar`.
If the estimated fees are less than the minimum relay
fee `(1 ustx x estimated_len)`, then that minimum relay
fee will be returned here instead.
