Price Data for Jupiter Verified Tokens

const fetchTokenPriceData = async () => {
  const response = await fetch("https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: "1",
      method: "getAsset",
      params: {
        id: "DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263", // Bonk token mint address
        displayOptions: {
          showFungibleTokens: true
        }
      },
    }),
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  
  // Calculate market cap
  if (data.result?.token_info?.price_info) {
    const { price_per_token } = data.result.token_info.price_info;
    const { supply, decimals } = data.result.token_info;
    
    // Adjust supply for decimals
    const adjustedSupply = supply / Math.pow(10, decimals);
    const marketCap = price_per_token * adjustedSupply;
    
    console.log(`Market Cap: $${marketCap.toLocaleString()}`);
  }
  
  return data;
};

Response Structure

The price data is available in the response under token_info.price_info:

{
  "token_info": {
    "symbol": "Bonk",
    "supply": 8881594973561640000,
    "decimals": 5,
    "token_program": "TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA",
    "price_info": {
      "price_per_token": 0.0000192271,
      "currency": "USDC"
    }
  }
}

Calculating Market Cap

To calculate a token’s market cap, multiply its price by the adjusted supply (accounting for decimals):

const adjustedSupply = supply / Math.pow(10, decimals);
const marketCap = pricePerToken * adjustedSupply;

This calculation gives you the total market valuation of the token by properly accounting for the token’s decimal places.

Working with NFTs and Digital Collectibles

The DAS API offers several methods for working with NFTs and digital collectibles. These methods allow you to retrieve individual assets, query by owner or creator, and verify on-chain authenticity.

Getting a Single NFT

Retrieve comprehensive data for a specific NFT:

const getNFT = async (mintAddress) => {
  const response = await fetch('https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY', {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: "1",
      method: "getAsset",
      params: {
        id: mintAddress,
      },
    }),
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
};

// Example usage
getNFT("F9Lw3ki3hJ7PF9HQXsBzoY8GyE6sPoEZZdXJBsTTD2rk");

Getting a Single NFT

Retrieve comprehensive data for a specific NFT:

const getNFT = async (mintAddress) => {
  const response = await fetch('https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY', {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: "1",
      method: "getAsset",
      params: {
        id: mintAddress,
      },
    }),
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
};

// Example usage
getNFT("F9Lw3ki3hJ7PF9HQXsBzoY8GyE6sPoEZZdXJBsTTD2rk");

Finding NFTs by Owner

Retrieve all NFTs owned by a specific wallet address:

const getNFTsByOwner = async (ownerAddress) => {
  const response = await fetch("https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: "1",
      method: "getAssetsByOwner",
      params: {
        ownerAddress: ownerAddress,
        page: 1,
        limit: 10,
      },
    }),
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
};

// Example usage
getNFTsByOwner("86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY");

Searching Assets with Advanced Filters

Search for assets by various attributes with detailed filters:

const searchAssets = async (params) => {
  const response = await fetch("https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: "1",
      method: "searchAssets",
      params: params,
    }),
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
};

// Example: Find all NFTs owned by an address
searchAssets({
  ownerAddress: "86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY",
  tokenType: "all",
  limit: 50,
});

SPL tokens can be queried through multiple methods in the Helius API. These methods let you check balances, find token accounts, and get token metadata.

Common SPL Token Operations

const getTokenBalance = async (tokenAccountAddress) => {
  const response = await fetch("https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=YOUR_API_KEY", {

    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      jsonrpc: '2.0',
      id: '1',
      method: 'getTokenAccountBalance',
      params: [tokenAccountAddress]

Best Practices

When working with the DAS API, keep these best practices in mind:

Use pagination for methods that return large data sets
Handle errors gracefully by implementing try/catch blocks
Cache responses when appropriate to reduce API calls
Respect rate limits to avoid disruptions in your application
Verify Jupiter price data is available before calculating market cap
