# dataFeedIdToReaderToWhitelistStatus()

Table of Contents

For on-chain smart contracts, the function dataFeedIdToReaderToWhitelistStatus() (opens new window) returns read access information with the expirationTimestamp and indefiniteWhitelistCount of a reader for the specified dAPI data feed.

The reader will not be able to read the dAPI data feed past the expirationTimestamp (assuming their indefiniteWhitelistCount is 0 ). If the indefiniteWhitelistCount is greater than 0 , the reader will be able to read the data feed indefinitely (regardless of the value of expirationTimestamp).

    (expirationTimestamp, indefiniteWhitelistCount) =
      IDapiServer(_dapiServerContractAddress).dataFeedIdToReaderToWhitelistStatus(_datafeedId, address(this));

# Parameters

dataFeedIdToReaderToWhitelistStatus(bytes32 datafeedId, address reader)

bytes32 datafeedId - The ID of a dAPI, Beacon, or Beacon set.
address reader - The address to verify such as the reader's smart contract address or another address.

# Using a `dapiName` for the `datafeedId` parameter

If you want to check the status using a dapiName, first encode the dapiName to bytes32 and calculate the off-chain hash of the encodedDapiName as shown below. Then pass the value of dapiNameHash as _datafeedId in the code example above. Try it in the ethers playground (opens new window).

// First encode the dapiName (such as AVAX/USD) to bytes32
encodedDapiName = ethers.utils.formatBytes32String("AVAX/USD");
// encodedDapiName now equals
// 0x415641582f555344000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
// Then calculate the off-chain hash
dapiNameHash = ethers.utils.solidityKeccak256(['bytes32'], [encodedDapiName]);
// dapiNameHash now equals
// 0xcc06defee290c6e46f55823e39eb14024b06d4a6c7a0b6bf8b1f1e229c389b9c

# Returns
