How this service works
Extract the 4-byte function selector from calldata hex — call when reading the 4-byte selector from calldata. Use for chain input hygiene without live RPC—adjacent to OneSource-class small chain reads, but static/local only so rights and margin stay clear. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, and memory-only with no paid upstream, no input retention, and no claim of live chain tip, web search, or media gen…
Output
Returns deterministic JSON containing the extracted 4-byte function selector parsed from the first 4 bytes of the provided calldata hex string. No live chain data is queried; output is purely computed from the input.
Example use cases
Decode calldata in transaction pipeline
“I have this raw calldata hex from a transaction and I need to pull out the 4-byte function selector to figure out which contract method was invoked: 0x23b872dd000000000000000000000000abc123...”
Input hygiene before contract simulation
“Before I pass this calldata to the simulator, can you extract the function selector so I can verify it matches the expected transferFrom method? Calldata is: 0x23b872dd00000000000000000000000012345678...”
ABI routing from raw calldata
“I'm building a calldata router and need to extract the selector from this hex blob to decide which ABI to use for decoding: 0x70a08231000000000000000000000000deadbeef...”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/selector-extractWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract a function selector from calldata locally, deterministically, and without any live RPC calls or network chain access. Ideal for input hygiene pipelines, pre-simulation validation, and ABI routing logic where you want a cheap, stateless, zero-latency decode step. Prefer over any RPC-based decode when you have raw calldata in hand and just need the selector bytes.
Side effects
- Calldata hex is too short to contain a 4-byte selector (less than 8 hex characters after 0x prefix)
- Invalid or malformed hex input returns an error
- Missing calldata field in request body causes a validation error
- Hex string without 0x prefix may cause parsing issues
