Checks whether the specified wallet has the necessary token approvals to perform a liquidity provisioning action (create, increase, decrease, or migrate) on a given protocol (V2, V3, or V4). If approvals are missing, returns fully-formed approval transactions for the caller to sign. For V4 positions, this endpoint can also return permit batch data for gasless approvals via EIP-2612 signatures, and for V3 it can return NFT permit data for the NonfungiblePositionManager.

​
Key Parameters

  • protocol — The Uniswap protocol version (V2, V3, or V4)
  • chain_id — The blockchain network
  • lp_tokens — The tokens involved in the LP action, with their addresses and amounts
  • action — The LP action being performed: CREATE, INCREASE, DECREASE, or MIGRATE
  • generate_permit_as_transaction — If true, returns permit signatures as executable transactions instead of typed data

​
Response

Returns a list of ApprovalTransactionRequest objects, each containing a fully-formed transaction to sign. If all approvals are already in place, the list will be empty.
