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 metadata of a SPL NFT

In order to get the metadata of a SPL NFT, Moralis provides you the getNFTMetadata API endpoint to do so.

Here you'll need two parameters: address and network.

Once you have obtained both the address and network, you can copy the following code:

index.js (JavaScript)

const Moralis = require("moralis").default;
const { SolNetwork } = require("@moralisweb3/common-sol-utils");

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

  const address = "FVW9KoJxXzP2cCfhLfFC7hQKBZKnaoPkyZJQgvM9moWV";

  const network = SolNetwork.MAINNET;

  const response = await Moralis.SolApi.nft.getNFTMetadata({
    address,
    network,
  });

  console.log(response.toJSON());
};

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";
import { SolNetwork } from "@moralisweb3/common-sol-utils";

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

  const address = "FVW9KoJxXzP2cCfhLfFC7hQKBZKnaoPkyZJQgvM9moWV";

  const network = SolNetwork.MAINNET;

  const response = await Moralis.SolApi.nft.getNFTMetadata({
    address,
    network,
  });

  console.log(response.toJSON());
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import sol_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
params = {
    "address": "FVW9KoJxXzP2cCfhLfFC7hQKBZKnaoPkyZJQgvM9moWV",
    "network": "mainnet",
}

result = sol_api.nft.get_nft_metadata(
    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:

{
  "mint": "FVW9KoJxXzP2cCfhLfFC7hQKBZKnaoPkyZJQgvM9moWV",
  "standard": "metaplex",
  "name": "",
  "symbol": "WASHERE",
  "metaplex": {
    "metadataUri": "https://nftstorage.link/ipfs/bafybeifa4kbkyzvxx2uedsnqespxdhdgn4bs3bw7mkrhdtxi2y44dahcxm/6.json",
    "updateAuthority": "14BRquDqnVXCVmQEAaZkiKCCruz2nbZNJrb5nB4GiewW",
    "sellerFeeBasisPoints": 0,
    "primarySaleHappened": 1,
    "owners": [
      {
        "address": "6ULhukKTw1U3NgpwV319eUC5eQYRSYUFi1iNpdTqUMBf",
        "verified": 1,
        "share": 0
      },
      {
        "address": "14BRquDqnVXCVmQEAaZkiKCCruz2nbZNJrb5nB4GiewW",
        "verified": 0,
        "share": 100
      }
    ],
    "isMutable": true,
    "masterEdition": false
  }
}

Congratulations 🥳 You just got the metadata of a SPL NFT with just a few lines of code using the Moralis Solana API!
