Step 1: Setup Moralis

Read the article Setting Up Moralis: Getting Started and make sure to finish all the steps. Only after that you can go ahead to complete this guide.

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"
    }
  ]
}
