Solana: Get metadata for any token
** Get metaplex and token20222222222222222222222222222
In Solana, obtaining metadata for a specific token can be slightly complicated. However, the use of metaplex or API token2022 extension provides a reliable way to get this information. In this article, we will explore the use of these tools together to get the metadata for any token on the solar network.
Previous requirements
Before you continue, make sure that you have installed the necessary units:
`Bash
NPM Install @Solana/Web3.Js @metaplex-js/token2022
OR
`Bash
FIRE ADD @SOLANA/Web3.JS @metaplex-js/token2022
Script: Get metadata by token
Below is an example of a script that demonstrates how to use the metaplex and API token2022 extension to get token metadata.
`JavaScript
Import {connection, publickey} from '@solar/web3.js';
Import {GetokenmetAdata} from '@metaplex-js/token2022';
ASYNC GETTOKETAdata (tokenid: string) {
// create a connection to Red Solana
Const Connection = New Connection ();
test {
// Get metadata of tokens using API token2022
Consists Metata = Get -Wait Mestade (connection, tokenid);
Return metadata;
} capt (error) {
Console.error (error);
the return of the void;
}
}
// example of use
GetToKetata ('Sandx-UD'). Then ((metadata) => {
if (metadata! == null) {
Console.log (metadata);
} others {
Console.log ("metadata of chips for sandx-andsd");
}
});
How works works
The function “GetokenmetAdata” takes an argument a unique identifier (tokenid). Create a connection to the solar network using @solar/web3.js. Then use API token2022 to obtain the specified token metadata.
This happens under the hood:
1.
- The answer contains metadata of chips, which is then returned by the function.
Note
: Make sure you have replaced 'Sandx-UD" with the real token ID for which you want to get metadata.
Conclusion
Obtaining metades using metaplex and token2022 provides a reliable way to get this information on the Solar network. By following the previous script, you can easily get metadata for any token that offers its unique identifier. Remember to replacetokenida with the real identification of the token for which you want to recover the metadata.
