# Analyze Crypto Token Security Risks API

Check a token contract address on supported chains and get riskScore, riskLevel, isHoneypot, and token safety signals for DeFi apps.

## Endpoint reference

### Token honeypot & risk check

`GET https://api.eu.apyhub.com/corsair96/analyze-crypto-token-security-risks/crypto/token-risk` · 120 atoms · accepts `application/json` · returns `application/json`

| Parameter | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `chain` | query | string | no | One of: ethereum, bsc, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, base, avalanche. Default: `ethereum`. |
| `address` | query | string | yes |  |

#### Quickstart

Check a token contract’s honeypot risk by passing its Ethereum address as a query parameter.

```bash
curl -X GET "https://api.eu.apyhub.com/corsair96/analyze-crypto-token-security-risks/crypto/token-risk?chain=ethereum&address=0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN"
```

#### What you'll get back

Returns a JSON object with `source` (string), `chain` (string), `address` (string), `riskScore` (integer), `riskLevel` (`low`, `medium`, or `high`), and `isHoneypot` (boolean). It may also include fields like `isProxy`, `isMintable`, `holderCount`, `isOpenSource`, `ownerAddress`, `buyTaxPercent`, `isBlacklisted`, `lpHolderCount`, `sellTaxPercent`, `transferPausable`, and `canTakeBackOwnership`.

```json
{
  "source": "honeypot.is",
  "chain": "ethereum",
  "address": "0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48",
  "riskScore": 1,
  "riskLevel": "low",
  "isHoneypot": false,
  "isOpenSource": null,
  "isMintable": null,
  "canTakeBackOwnership": null,
  "isBlacklisted": null,
  "transferPausable": null,
  "isProxy": null,
  "buyTaxPercent": 0,
  "sellTaxPercent": 0,
  "holderCount": 9099594,

}

## About

## What it does
Token Risk Checker analyzes an ERC-20 style token contract for common scam and ownership risks. Send a blockchain `address`, optionally choose `chain`, and get back a risk assessment for that token on Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, or Avalanche.

The response includes the token’s `source`, `chain`, and `address`, plus a numeric `riskScore` from 0 to 100 and a `riskLevel` of `low`, `medium`, or `high`. It also reports whether the contract is an `isHoneypot` and may include checks such as `isProxy`, `isMintable`, `holderCount`, `isOpenSource`, `ownerAddress`, `buyTaxPercent`, `sellTaxPercent`, `isBlacklisted`, `lpHolderCount`, `transferPausable`, and `canTakeBackOwnership` when available.

Use Token Risk Checker when you need to screen a token before trading, listing, or integrating it into a wallet or analytics app. It helps you flag suspicious contracts, detect potentially trapped liquidity scenarios, and surface ownership or tax settings that deserve a manual review.
