​
Contains

Check if a geometry is inside a container geometry. 
POST /compute/v0/contains

​
Request body

​
chainId
number
required
Target chain ID (e.g., 84532 for Base Sepolia).
​
container
Input
required
The containing geometry (typically a polygon). See Input types for accepted formats.
​
containee
Input
required
The geometry to check — is this inside the container?
​
schema
string
EAS schema UID. The server uses a default schema if not provided.
​
recipient
string
Ethereum address to receive the attestation. Defaults to the zero address.

​
Example request

curl -X POST https://api.astral.global/compute/v0/contains \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  -d '{
    "chainId": 84532,
    "container": "0xpolygon...",
    "containee": "0xpoint...",
    "recipient": "0xdef456..."
  }'

​
Response

Returns a BooleanComputeResponse.
​
result
boolean
required
true if the containee is inside the container, false otherwise.
​
operation
string
required
Always "contains".
​
timestamp
number
required
Unix timestamp of computation.
​
inputRefs
string[]
required
Array containing [containerRef, containeeRef].
​
attestation
AttestationData
required
Signed EAS attestation. See AttestationData.
​
delegatedAttestation
DelegatedAttestationData
required
Signature for delegated onchain submission. See DelegatedAttestationData.

  }
}

Notes

  • Uses PostGIS ST_Contains function
  • The container must completely contain the geometry for true
  • Points on the boundary may return false — use intersects for boundary cases
The field for the inner geometry is containee, not geometry. This naming distinguishes the two inputs unambiguously.
