Known assets

Retrieve an asset’s configuration information from the network using the SDKs or goal. Additional details are also added to the accounts that own the specific asset and can be listed with standard account information calls.

Note

The code below illustrates getting asset information without the Indexer. If you have the Indexer installed use the Indexer API to search for asset information.

Python

# Retrieve the asset info of the newly created asset
asset_info = algod_client.asset_info(created_asset)
asset_params: Dict[str, Any] = asset_info["params"]
print(f"Asset Name: {asset_params['name']}")
print(f"Asset params: {list(asset_params.keys())}")

JavaScript

const assetInfo = await algodClient.getAssetByID(assetIndex).do();
console.log(`Asset Name: ${assetInfo.params.name}`);
console.log(`Asset Params: ${assetInfo.params}`);
