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:

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();

Step 3: Run the script

To run the script, enter the following command:

node index.js

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",

}
],

}
}
