Query Parameters

Parameter

Description

address

the contract address that has a verified source code

A simple sample for retrieving the contractABI using Web3.js and Jquery to interact with a contract.

var Web3 = require('web3');
var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider());
var version = web3.version.api;

$.getJSON('https://api.polygonscan.com/api?module=contract&action=getabi&address=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001004&apikey=YourApiKeyToken', function (data) {
    var contractABI = "";
    contractABI = JSON.parse(data.result);
    if (contractABI != '') {
        var MyContract = web3.eth.contract(contractABI);
        var myContractInstance = MyContract.at("0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001004");
        var result = myContractInstance.memberId("0xfe8ad7dd2f564a877cc23feea6c0a9cc2e783715");
        console.log("result1 : " + result);
        var result = myContractInstance.members(1);
        console.log("result2 : " + result);
    } else {
        console.log("Error");
    }
});

Verify Source Code

Submits a contract source code to PolygonScan for verification.

📝 Note : This endpoint is limited to 100 verifications/day, regardless of API PRO tier.

  1. Requires a valid PolygonScan API key, it will be rejected otherwise

  2. Only supports HTTP POST due to max transfer size limitations for HTTP GET

  3. Supports up to 10 different library pairs

  4. Contracts that use "imports" will need to have the code concatenated into one file as we do not support "imports" in separate files.

  5. List of supported solc versions, only solc version v0.4.11 and above is supported e.g. v0.4.25+commit.59dbf8f1

  6. Upon successful submission you will receive a GUID (50 characters) as a receipt

  7. You may use this GUID to track the status of your submission

  8. Verified Source Codes will be displayed at the Verified Contracts page.

Source Code Submission Gist

👇 Note: Upon successful submission, a GUID is returned, which can be used to check for submission status.

Verify Proxy Contract

Submits a proxy contract source code to PolygonScan for verification.

  1. Requires a valid PolygonScan API key, it will be rejected otherwise

  2. Current daily limit of 100 submissions per day per user (subject to change)

  3. Only supports HTTP post

  4. Upon successful submission you will receive a GUID (50 characters) as a receipt

  5. You may use this GUID to track the status of your submission

  6. Verified proxy contracts will display the "Read/Write as Proxy" of the implementation contract under the contract address's contract tab

Verifying Proxy Contract using cURL

// example with only the mandatory contract address parameter
curl -d "address=0xcbdcd3815b5f975e1a2c944a9b2cd1c985a1cb7f" "https://api.polygonscan.com/api?module=contract&action=verifyproxycontract&apikey=YourApiKeyToken"

// example using the expectedimplementation optional parameter
// the expectedimplementation enforces a check to ensure the returned implementation contract address == address picked up by the verifier
