# client.checkResourceAccess

Fetch the access route (default /api/nibgate/access). A 402 returns a challenge unless checkout or autoPay is configured. Network errors reject; inspect result.ok before using protected payload.


## Signature {#signature}


```typescript
checkResourceAccess(resource: NibgateResource | string, options?: NibgateAccessCheckOptions): Promise<NibgateAccessCheckResult>;
```




## Parameters {#parameters}


| Parameter | Type |
| --- | --- |
| `resource` | `NibgateResource \| string` |
| `options?` | `NibgateAccessCheckOptions` |


## Returns {#returns}


`Promise<NibgateAccessCheckResult>`


## Example {#example}


App-supplied identifiers such as provider, signer, walletCheckout, sendTransfer, signOwnership and verifiedPaymentSignature represent your configured wallet integration or verified result. These are usage examples, not an automatically executed checkout.

```typescript
import { createNibgate } from '@nibgate/sdk';
const client = createNibgate();
const resource = { id: 'article-1', title: 'Example article', type: 'article', price: '1', url: 'https://creator.example/articles/1' };

const result = await client.checkResourceAccess(resource, { accessPath: "/api/nibgate/access?id=article-1" });
if (result.ok) console.log(result.payload);
```
