How this service works
Fast, low-cost Base data for autonomous agents. No API keys, no subscriptions; pay per call with USDC over x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the network identifier (e.g. 'eip155:8453' for Base mainnet) and the allowance amount in atomic units (smallest denomination) as a string, representing how many tokens the spender is authorized to transfer on behalf of the owner.
Example use cases
Pre-swap approval check for DeFi agent
“Before I try to swap tokens on Base, check whether my wallet 0xAbC1234567890abcdef1234567890ABCDEF12345 has approved enough USDC (0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48) for the Uniswap router 0xDef9876543210DEFabc9876543210DEFabc98765 to spend.”
Monitor stale token approvals
“Tell me the current allowance that 0xOwner123456789012345678901234567890123456 has given to 0xSpender789012345678901234567890123456789 for the token at 0xToken456789012345678901234567890123456789 on Base — I want to know if it's still set to an unlimited amount.”
Verify protocol permission before yield deposit
“I'm about to deposit into a yield vault on Base — can you check how many tokens the vault contract 0xVault123456789012345678901234567890123456 is currently allowed to pull from my address 0xMyWallet78901234567890123456789012345678 for the WETH token 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.mach.gallery/api/base/allowance?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call allowance check on the Base network without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for autonomous agents that need on-demand ERC-20 approval data at low cost ($0.003/call) and can pay via USDC over x402. Prefer it over building your own RPC calls when simplicity and cost predictability matter.
Side effects
- Invalid EVM address format for owner, token, or spender returns a validation error
- Token address does not correspond to a deployed ERC-20 contract on Base, resulting in an error or zero allowance
- Network congestion or RPC node issues may cause timeouts
- Payment failure via x402 if insufficient USDC balance prevents the $0.003 call fee
