How to get coin metadata by coin type hashes

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

• Node v.14+ or Python
• NPM/Yarn or Pip

Step 1: Setup Moralis

First register your Moralis account and get your Moralis API Key.

Once you have your Moralis API Key, install the Moralis SDK in your project.

npm

npm install moralis

yarn

yarn add moralis

pnpm

pnpm add moralis

pip

pip install moralis

Step 2: Get Coin Metadata By Coin Type Hashes

In order to get coin metadata by coin type hashes, Moralis provides you a getCoinsByCoinTypeHash endpoint to do so.

Here you'll need one parameter: coinTypeHashes.

Once you have obtained the coinTypeHashes, you can copy the following code:

index.js (JavaScript)

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const coinTypeHashes = [
    "175cc6491b0d75a131a36391318cde4c4b1312de70675c7e46cc54dacfe7ae29",
  ];

  const response = await Moralis.AptosApi.coins.getCoinInfoByCoinTypeHashes({
    coinTypeHashes,
    network: "mainnet",
  });

  console.log(response.result);
};

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";

const runApp = async () => {
  await Moralis.start({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const coinTypeHashes = [
    "175cc6491b0d75a131a36391318cde4c4b1312de70675c7e46cc54dacfe7ae29",
  ];

  const response = await Moralis.AptosApi.coins.getCoinInfoByCoinTypeHashes({
    coinTypeHashes,
    network: "mainnet",
  });

  console.log(response.result);
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import aptos_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

params = {
    "network": "mainnet",
    "coin_type_hashes": ["175cc6491b0d75a131a36391318cde4c4b1312de70675c7e46cc54dacfe7ae29"]
}

result = aptos_api.coins.get_coins_by_coin_type_hashes(
    api_key=api_key,
    params=params,
)

print(result)

Step 3: Run the script

To run the script, enter the following command:

Shell (JavaScript)

node index.js

Shell (TypeScript)

ts-node index.ts

Shell (Python)

python index.py

In your terminal, you should see the following JSON response:

{
  [
    {
      "coin_type": "0xf22bede237a07e121b56d91a491eb7bcdfd1f5907926a9e58338f964a01b17fa::asset::USDT",
      "coin_type_hash": "175cc6491b0d75a131a36391318cde4c4b1312de70675c7e46cc54dacfe7ae29",
      "name": "Tether USD",
      "creator_address": "0xf22bede237a07e121b56d91a491eb7bcdfd1f5907926a9e58338f964a01b17fa",
      "decimals": 6,
      "supply_aggregator_table_handle": null,
      "supply_aggregator_table_key": null,
      "symbol": "USDT",
      "transaction_created_timestamp": "2022-10-19T02:43:38.000Z",
      "transaction_version_created": "2413215"
    }
  ]
}

Congratulations 🥳 You just got coin metadata by coin type hashes with just a few lines of code using the Moralis Coin API!
