Check entitlements

What is the /check endpoint

The /check endpoint in the gater entitlement API is used to verify whether a user is currently entitled to a specific feature or resource.

How to use it

The /check endpoint is useful for enforcing access control in your application.

For example, checking if a user has access to a premium feature or if they still have remaining usage for a consumable entitlement.

The response will include whether the user is entitled, and for consumables, it may also include usage and limit details.

import axios from "axios";
 
const gater = axios.create({
  baseURL: "https://api.gater.dev",
  headers: { "X-Api-Key": process.env.GATER_SECRET }, // public key also OK for check requests
});
 
const response = await gater.get("/check", {
  params: { user: "user_123", feature: "app_tokens" },
});
 
console.log(response.data);

This endpoint is ideal for real-time checks before granting access to protected features or enforcing usage limits in your app.
