How to get Assets - Helius Docs

Quick Reference: Use getAsset for single assets, getAssetsByOwner for wallet holdings, searchAssets for filtered queries, and access real-time price data for Jupiter verified tokens.

The Helius Digital Asset Standard (DAS) API provides powerful tools for reading and querying both NFT and token data on Solana. This guide shows you how to work with different types of Solana assets effectively.

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 marketCap = data.result.token_info.price_info.price_per_token * data.result.token_info.supply;
    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 total supply:

const marketCap = pricePerToken * supply;

This calculation gives you the total market valuation of the token.

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,
});

Working with SPL Tokens

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
