eth_getCode code examples

const Web3 = require("web3");
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const web3 = new Web3(NODE_URL);

// Check if pathUSD is a contract
const PATHUSD = "0x20c0000000000000000000000000000000000000";

async function getCode() {
  const code = await web3.eth.getCode(PATHUSD);
  console.log(`Is contract: ${code !== '0x'}`);
}
