Ethereum Selector / Event Topic Hash Lookup
x402
Ethereum Selector / Event Topic Hash Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).
Resolves a 4-byte Ethereum function selector or 32-byte event topic hash to its known human-readable Solidity signatures using openchain.xyz with 4byte.directory as fallback.

How this service works
Resolve a 4-byte function selector or a 32-byte event topic hash to its known human-readable Solidity signatures, via the openchain.xyz signature database with 4byte.directory as fallback. Unknown selectors return {found:false} with an empty list, not an error.
Output
Returns an object indicating whether the selector was found (found: true/false) and a list of matching human-readable Solidity function or event signatures (e.g. 'transfer(address,uint256)'). Unknown selectors return {found: false} with an empty list.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you look up what Solidity function the 4-byte selector 0xa9059cbb maps to? I'm trying to decode some Ethereum transaction calldata.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent402.tools/api/selector-lookupWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to decode raw Ethereum calldata or event logs by resolving 4-byte function selectors or 32-byte event topic hashes to human-readable Solidity signatures. Prefer this over manual ABI lookups when you don't have the contract's ABI on hand, or when debugging unknown contract interactions. It covers a broad corpus via openchain.xyz with 4byte.directory as fallback, maximizing match probability.
Side effects
- Unknown selector returns {found: false} with empty signatures list — not an error, just not in the database
- Invalid hex format or wrong length (not 10 chars for function selector or 66 chars for event topic) may return an error
- Upstream openchain.xyz and 4byte.directory both unavailable causes lookup failure
- Malformed 0x-prefix or non-hex characters cause validation failure
