# Check Watched Address

> Check whether a blockchain address is currently registered with Tender's deposit monitor

<Note>
  **Auth method: Signed (HMAC)** — this endpoint requires the full set of signed
  headers: `x-access-id`, `x-request-id`, `x-timestamp`, and an HMAC-SHA256
  `authorization` signature. See [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication#signed-hmac-authentication).
</Note>

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const res = await fetch(`${BASE}/wallet/watch/0xabc123...`, {
    headers: makeHeaders(),
  });

  const { data } = await res.json();
  // data.watched → true | false
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  res = requests.get(
      f"{BASE}/wallet/watch/0xabc123...",
      headers=make_headers(),
  )
  watched = res.json()["data"]["watched"]
  ```
