[SOLVED] runContractFunction broken, always 400 with "Web3 API error while calling /:address/function"

Garon · November 13, 2021, 8:59am

Sample code:

      lastTokenId = Number(
        await Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction({
          chain: 'mumbai',
          address: '0xf1B09593d659D3F28DEC21E9C5A60d2FE8B4F940',
          function_name: 'totalPublicSupply',
          abi: ... (see below),
          // params: {},
        }),

abi = '[{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"maxPublic","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"uint256","name":"maxTemporaryPublic","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"uint256","name":"maxReserved","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"uint256","name":"startingReservedID","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"uint256","name":"maxPerAddress","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"address[]","name":"whitelistAddresses","type":"address[]"}],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"constructor"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"owner","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"approved","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"uint256","name":"tokenId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"Approval","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"owner","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"operator","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"internalType":"bool","name":"approved","type":"bool"}],"name":"ApprovalForAll","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"previousOwner","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"newOwner","type":"address"}],"name":"OwnershipTransferred","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"bytes32","name":"role","type":"bytes32"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"bytes32","name":"previousAdminRole","type":"bytes32"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"bytes32","name":"newAdminRole","type":"bytes32"}],"name":"RoleAdminChanged","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"bytes32","name":"role","type":"bytes32"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"account","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"sender","type":"address"}],"name":"RoleGranted","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"bytes32","name":"role","type":"bytes32"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"account","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"sender","type":"address"}],"name":"RoleRevoked","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"from","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"address","name":"to","type":"address"},{"indexed":true,"internalType":"uint256","name":"tokenId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"Transfer","type":"event"},{"inputs":[],"name":"DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE","outputs":[{"internalType":"bytes32","name":"","type":"bytes32"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"MAX_PER_ADDRESS","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"MAX_PUBLIC","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"MAX_RESERVED","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"OPERATOR_ROLE","outputs":[{"internalType":"bytes32","name":"","type":"bytes32"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"STARTING_RESERVED_ID","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"address","name":"to","type":"address"},{"internalType":"uint256","name":"tokenId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"approve","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"address","name":"owner","type":"address"}],"name":"balanceOf","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"derivativeContractList","outputs":[{"internalType":"address","name":"","type":"address"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"address","name":"targetAddress","type":"address"},{"internalType":"uint256[]","name":"tokenIds","type":"uint256[]"},{"internalType":"bool[]","name":"modes","type":"bool[]"}],"name":"devMintReserved","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"tokenId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"displayTokenURI","outputs":[{"internalType":"string","name":"","type":"string"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"freezeBaseURI","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"inputs":[],"name":"frozen","outputs":[{"internalType":"bool","name":"","type":"bool"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"tokenId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"getApproved","outputs":[{"internalType":"address","name":"","type":"address"}],"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"bytes32","name":"role","type":"bytes32"}],"name":"getRoleAdmin","outputs":[{"internalType":"bytes32","name":"",

This returns contract public variable’s value, totalPublicSupply. This has worked fine before, on mumbai and ropsten testnets, as well as on ETH mainnet. But about a week or so ago, this broke. Now on Chrome network pane, I see 400 always from moralis api, with this json response:

{"code":141,"error":"Web3 API error while calling /:address/function"}

I’ve tried updating moralis JS sdk version from 0.0.104 to 0.0.128, and updated + restarted Moralis server version to 0.0.283. No difference, other than more meaningful json response (instead of above, older sdk or server would just return [object object])

Considering our ETH mainnet contract (0xd8d806C87Ba9A1a586C70A686285078094eFDa35) has been deployed for about a month now and has worked fine previously, something changed on Moralis’s api in recent week or 2 that broke runContractFunction. Note that I’m getting above error and response with same contract deployed on any chain.

Anyone else with similar experience?

@Devs, help and investigation much appreciated.

I will check, we recently changed the syntax to also support parameters

Garon · November 10, 2021, 10:02am

Yes, I see that. I integrated and tested the runContractFunction call back before params is added, which is great. But ya, seems like some server change broke things. Thanks for checking

Garon · November 10, 2021, 9:01pm

I see now, the error response from Moralis server has changed to

{"code":141,"error":"ABI is required!"}

When I have supplied ABI as input param, see my original post

cryptokid · November 10, 2021, 9:11pm

yes, I know, I got same error, we will have to fix it, for now it looks like it is not working

cryptokid · November 11, 2021, 11:03am

@Garon, it works now, you’ll have to update to latest Moralis server version

Garon · November 11, 2021, 7:15pm

Cool, testing. No need for client update of moralis npm package?

cryptokid · November 11, 2021, 7:16pm

it should work without updating Moralis SDK

Garon · November 11, 2021, 7:46pm

Confirmed, server update from 0.0.283 to 0.0.284 fixes the 400 on runContractFunction

Also note that getAllTokenIds function was also broken previously, and now works with 200 response again. Thanks

PS. Moralis can use E2E tests to detect and catch across the board API breakage like this, instead of relying on users like me to report it from the wild

I have the same problem

  const options = {
                chain: '0x61',
                address: '0x7478b7BBF4f99Cfb72c6A5a768D1EFF22B707511',
                function_name: 'create',
                abi: [{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"itemId","type":"uint256"},{"internalType":"string","name":"tokenURI","type":"string"}],"name":"create","outputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"","type":"uint256"}],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}],
                params: {  itemId: itemId, tokenURIL: tokenURI },
            };
            const data = await Moralis.Web3API.native.runContractFunction(options);

with

“moralis”: “^1.5.9”
moralis server version 0.0.369

cryptokid · April 17, 2022, 1:54pm

You can only call read only functions with runContractFunction. You have to use Moralis.executeFunction for write functions.

leeanhsixteen.16 · April 18, 2022, 1:47pm

yes, i pass this exception

leeanhsixteen.16 · April 18, 2022, 1:53pm

Do you know about this error?

cryptokid · April 18, 2022, 1:57pm

try to use this syntax with moralisSecret, if it doesn’t work, you will have to use ethers or web3 directly

leeanhsixteen.16 · April 18, 2022, 3:01pm

it still gives the same error as above

cryptokid · April 18, 2022, 3:02pm

are you sure it has the right parameters? if it has native currency to execute that function call?
