# OneSource Ethereum Contract Bytecode Retrieval

> OneSource Ethereum Contract Bytecode Retrieval is a paid API for AI agents from api.onesource.io, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-12).

Fetches the deployed bytecode and contract metadata for an Ethereum address on mainnet or Sepolia testnet

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.onesource.io/api/chain/code/%7Baddress%7D
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-12
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/onesource-ethereum-contract-bytecode-retrieval-0f4a7263
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_X5eucPkVQNMy8yaBdRS50

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability onesource-ethereum-contract-bytecode-retrieval-0f4a7263
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the deployed bytecode for the contract at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Ethereum mainnet and tell me the bytecode size and whether it's actually a contract?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve raw EVM bytecode or confirm whether an Ethereum address has code deployed (is a smart contract vs. an EOA). Prefer this over full RPC node calls when you want a simple pay-per-call REST interface without managing API keys or node infrastructure. Ideal for agents performing contract analysis, decompilation prep, or quick contract-vs-wallet checks on mainnet or Sepolia.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid address format (non-0x or wrong length) returns a 400 validation error
- Address is an EOA with no deployed code — returns is_contract: false and empty bytecode
- Unsupported network value returns a 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC payment via x402 or MPP
- Node unavailable or chain congestion may result in 503 or timeout
- Sepolia testnet address queried against mainnet returns empty bytecode

## How this service works

Two data families for AI agents: live Ethereum mainnet, Sepolia testnet, and Robinhood Chain RPC reads, plus Deepstate on-chain market data (order books, trades, candles, and analytics). Pay per call or use batch/session mode: USDC on Base via x402, or pathUSD/USDC.e on Tempo via MPP. No API key required to start; a flat-rate monthly subscription is also available.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the full hex bytecode string, the queried address, a boolean indicating whether the address is a smart contract, and the bytecode size in bytes
