Token Details

This guide walks you through getting the token details to show in your apps.

Token Details lets you get comprehensive information about any token, whether it's a fungible token, NFT, multi-token, or the native currency of a chain. This is useful for portfolio apps, NFT dashboards, and trading platforms.

What You Can Do

  • Fetch token information by providing a chain and token address.
  • Get NFT/multi-token metadata by passing tokenId as a query parameter.
  • Get native currency info by passing 'native' in the tokenAddress parameter (supported only on mainnets of Ethereum, Polygon, Berachain, Celo, Tezos, and Solana).
  • Retrieve details such as name, symbol, token type, total supply, decimals, and more.

Usage Workflow

  1. Select Token – Provide chain and token address (or 'native').
  2. Call API – Request token details or exchange rate.
  3. Optional NFT Info – Provide tokenId for specific NFT/multi-token metadata.
  4. Display – Show token info in your app, including name, symbol, supply, and exchange value.

Best Practices

  • Always specify the correct chain for the token.
  • Use tokenId only for NFT/multi-token queries.
  • Cache responses to reduce repeated API calls for popular tokens.
  • Combine with portfolio and transaction APIs to give a full asset overview.
