How to get coin metadata by creator addresses

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following ready:

• Node v.14+ or Python
• NPM/Yarn or Pip

Step 1: Setup Moralis

First register your Moralis account and get your Moralis API Key.

Once you have your Moralis API Key, install the Moralis SDK in your project.

npm

npm install moralis

yarn

yarn add moralis

pnpm

pnpm add moralis

pip

pip install moralis

Step 2: Get transactions

In order to get coin metadata by creator addresses, Moralis provides you a getCoinsByCreators endpoint to do so.

Here you'll need two parameters: limit and creatorAddresses.

Once you have obtained both the limit and creatorAddresses, 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 limit = 10;

  const creatorAddresses =
    "0xf22bede237a07e121b56d91a491eb7bcdfd1f5907926a9e58338f964a01b17fa";

  const response = await Moralis.AptosApi.coins.getCoinsByCreators({
    limit,
    creatorAddresses,
  });

  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 limit = 10;

  const creatorAddresses =
    "0xf22bede237a07e121b56d91a491eb7bcdfd1f5907926a9e58338f964a01b17fa";

  const response = await Moralis.AptosApi.coins.getCoinsByCreators({
    limit,
    creatorAddresses,
  });

  console.log(response.result);
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import aptos_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

params = {
    "network": "mainnet",
    "limit": 10,
    "creator_addresses": ["0xf22bede237a07e121b56d91a491eb7bcdfd1f5907926a9e58338f964a01b17fa"]
}

result = aptos_api.coins.get_coins_by_creators(
    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:
