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 the price of an ERC20 token

In order to get the price of an ERC20 token, Moralis provides you with an getTokenPrice endpoint.

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

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

index.js (JavaScript)

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

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

  const address = "0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.token.getTokenPrice({
    address,
    chain,
  });

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

runApp();

index.ts (TypeScript)

import Moralis from "moralis";
import { EvmChain } from "@moralisweb3/common-evm-utils";

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

  const address = "0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599";

  const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM;

  const response = await Moralis.EvmApi.token.getTokenPrice({
    address,
    chain,
  });

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

runApp();

index.py (Python)

from moralis import evm_api

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
params = {
    "address": "0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599",
    "chain": "eth"
}

result = evm_api.token.get_token_price(
    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:

{
  "tokenName": "Wrapped BTC",
  "tokenSymbol": "WBTC",
  "tokenLogo": "https://cdn.moralis.io/eth/0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599.png",
  "tokenDecimals": "8",
  "nativePrice": {
    "value": "15844922382819160000",
    "decimals": 18,
    "name": "Ether",
    "symbol": "ETH",
    "address": "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2"
  },
  "usdPrice": 29012.967874240312,
  "usdPriceFormatted": "29012.967874240312",
  "24hrPercentChange": "8.125434468247821",
  "exchangeAddress": "0x1f98431c8ad98523631ae4a59f267346ea31f984",
  "exchangeName": "Uniswap v3",
  "tokenAddress": "0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599"
}

Congratulations 🥳 You just got the price of an ERC20 Token with just a few lines of code using the Moralis Token API!
