Verifying Contracts Programmatically
If you'd like to verify contracts via our website, you may do so using the Verify and Publish Source Code page.
Source code verification provides a way for projects to open source their smart contract code for end users to inspect and verify that it does what it claims to do.
🌎
By uploading source code, BscScan will match the compiled contract bytecode with that on the blockchain and display it under the Contract **** tab.
For repeated or multiple verification of contracts, it may be more productive to programmatically verify your contracts through an API endpoint .
🎯
The tools needed to follow along with this guide is Postman, an API development application and a valid BscScan API key.
Point your API request URL to
https://api.bscscan.com/api and set your request method to POST.If you'd like to deploy this to the BNB Smart Chain testnet, replace the request URL with
https://api-testnet.bscscan.com/api
Under the Request Body, set the format to
x-www-form-urlencoded.Include your API key under the
apikey field, set the module to contract, and action to verifysourcecode.
Paste your contract source code under the
sourceCode parameter.If your contract uses "imports", you will need to concatenate the code into one file ( otherwise known as "flattening" ) as we do not support "imports" in separate files.
Examples of Solidity flatteners that can be used are solidity-flattener by @BlockCatIO or SolidityFlattery by @DaveAppleton
Configure the details of your deployed contract such as
contractname, compilerversion, optimizationUsed and so on.You have to specify the fields marked as required, and optional fields if applicable to your contract.
Parameter | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
contractaddress | Required | contract address, eg. 0x4c113f627fe35231fd11131a9974b9a99f584cb6 |
codeformat | Required | solidity-single-file by default, or solidity-standard-json-input |
contractname | Required | contract name, eg HelloWorld |
compilerversion | Required | compiler version used, eg. v0.7.6+commit.7338295f |
optimizationUsed | Required | use 0 for no optimization, and 1 if optimization was used |
runs | Optional | the no. of runs if optimization was used, eg. 200 |
constructorArguements | Optional | |
evmversion | Optional | leave blank for default compiler, specify if others such as tangerineWhistle, spuriousDragon, byzantium etc |
licenseType | Optional | default value of 1 indicating No License |
libraryname | Optional | library used in contract, eg. SafeMathsupports up to 10 different libraries |
libraryaddress | Optional | library address eg. 0xCfE28868F6E0A24b7333D22D8943279e76aC2cdca matching pair of libraryname - libraryaddress must be provided |

Upon sending your request, you should receive a GUID ( 50 characters ) as your submission receipt.
You may check the status of your source code verification using the "Check Source Code Verification Status" endpoint. The average processing time is between 30 - 60 seconds.
Upon successful verification , users will be able to interact with your contract on BscScan and it will be listed under the Verified Contracts page.
