Request


{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "eth_getCode",
  "params": ["0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48", "latest"],
  "id": 1
}

Response


{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,

Replace the example address with a contract on BSC.

If the result is "0x", the address is an EOA (externally owned account), not a contract.
