How to get Token balance of Solana wallet
A guide to fetch the token balance of Solana wallet using Moralis Solana API
In this tutorial, we’ll go over utilizing the Moralis Solana API and NodeJS to retrieve the token balance owned by a given Solana network and address.
To set up the application, follow the instructions below.
- Create a package.json file as below
npm init -y
2. Install moralis
and @moralisweb3/common-sol-utils
dependency as follows
npm i moralis @moralisweb3/common-sol-utils
3. Your package.json should contain the following
{
"name": "solana-token-balance",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"@moralisweb3/common-sol-utils": "^2.7.4",
"dotenv": "^16.0.3",
"express": "^4.18.2",
"moralis": "^2.7.4"
}
}
4. Create a .env file which contains the Moralis API_KEY
API_KEY = “Your Moralis API Key”
5. Start the server in server.js
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
app.listen(8080, async () => {
console.log('server started');
});
6. Start Moralis in server.js
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const Moralis = require('moralis').default;
const app = express();
const { API_KEY } = process.env;
app.use(express.json())
async function startMoralis() {
try{
await Moralis.start({
apiKey: API_KEY,
});
}catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
app.listen(8080, async () => {
startMoralis();
console.log('server started');
})
7. Add a GET endpoint /sol-token-balance to get the Solana token balance.
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const Moralis = require('moralis').default;
const { SolNetwork } = require('@moralisweb3/common-sol-utils');
const app = express();
const { API_KEY } = process.env;
app.use(express.json())
async function startMoralis() {
try{
await Moralis.start({
apiKey: API_KEY,
});
}catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
app.get('/sol-token-balance', async (req, res) => {
const network = SolNetwork.MAINNET;
const { address } = req.body;
try{
const response = await Moralis.SolApi.account.getSPL({
network,
address,
});
res.status(200).send(response.toJSON());
}catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
})
app.listen(8080, async () => {
startMoralis();
console.log('server started');
})
8. Test the endpoint using Postman
The test result is given below. Give the wallet address in req.body
Summary
Up to this point, we have talked about utilizing the Moralis Solana API and NodeJs to obtain the token balance owned by a given Solana network and address. Open a Moralis account and play around with their APIs.
