Looking for an easy way to find a crypto token by name, symbol, address, or pair address? With Moralis’ Token Search API, it becomes a breeze. Get fast, verified token search across all major chains, complete with live indexing, smart ranking, and rich metadata. Search for any crypto with just one API call and enrich your platform with the top-tier token search functionality users deserve!
Eager to jump straight into it? Here’s a quick example showing the Token Search API in action:
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
accept: 'application/json',
'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
},
};
fetch('https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/tokens/search?query=pepe&chains=eth', options)

Why Do You Need the Token Search API?
If you’re browsing crypto projects – whether it’s DEXs, wallets, or other platforms – it’s common to come across broken search features. Results are frequently missing, filled with scams, or cluttered with unverified junk. But this is not surprising, as building fast, reliable token search functionality from scratch is both tedious and time-consuming. It requires real-time token indexing, broad cross-chain support, sophisticated ranking systems, and more.
Fortunately, you can avoid this altogether thanks to the Token Search API, allowing you to integrate a fast, accurate token search into your projects with just one line of code. This, in turn, will allow you to save an abundance of time and resources, enabling you to move to market much quicker.
Additionally, providing a reliable token search for your project will help boost user value, trust, and retention – all of which are important when running a successful project!
To learn more about how this works, join us down below as we jump into a tutorial on how to search for a crypto token using the Token Search API!
3-Step Tutorial: How to Search for a Crypto Token by Name, Symbol, Address, or Pair Address
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the Token Search API, let’s take a closer look at how you can use this tool to find a crypto token by name, symbol, address, or pair address. Thanks to the accessibility of this tool, you can do it in three short steps:
- Get Your API Key
- Write a Script
- Run the Code
But before we dive into the initial step, you must handle a couple of prerequisites!
Prerequisites
To follow along in today’s tutorial, make sure you have these installed:
Step 1: Get Your API Key
If you haven’t already, kick things off by signing up for an account with Moralis using the button at the top right:
Next, upgrade to either a custom Enterprise or Business plan, as /tokens/search is a premium endpoint. After upgrading, you can then go ahead and copy your API key directly under the ”Home” tab:
Keep your key for now, as you’ll need it in the following step!
Step 2: Write a Script
Open your preferred IDE and set up a new project using the following terminal command:
npm init
Next, install the required dependencies with this command:
npm install node-fetch --save npm install moralis @moralisweb3/common-evm-utils
From here, open your ”package.json” file and add ”type”: ”module” to the list:
Create a new ”index.js” file and add the following script:
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
accept: 'application/json',
'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
},
};
fetch('https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/tokens/search?query=pepe&chains=eth', options)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
Lastly, you need to make some minor configurations before running the code. First, replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just copied. Next, change the query parameters to fit your preferences. For example, swap out the token name, add more chains, and include the isVerifiedContract boolean to only receive verified tokens:
Step 3: Run the Code
To run the code, open a new terminal and run this command in the root folder of your project:
node index.js
Doing so will give you a list of relevant tokens based on your query. Each token will also feature response parameters like usdPrice, experiencedNetBuyers, netVolumeUsd, liquidityChangeUSD, logo, etc., giving you insights beyond the token name and address. Here’s a sample response:
{
//...
result: (
{
"tokenAddress": "0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933",
"chainId": "0x1",
"name": "Pepe",
"symbol": "PEPE",
"blockNumber": null,
"blockTimestamp": 1681483895,
"usdPrice": 0.000008732159701029,
"marketCap": 3673532264.62589,
"experiencedNetBuyers": {
"oneDay": 6,
"oneWeek": 12
},
"netVolumeUsd": {
"oneDay": -308278.47758801375
},
"liquidityChangeUSD": {
"oneDay": -109445.76999999955
},
"usdPricePercentChange": {
"oneDay": -3.2959040909090422
},
"volumeUsd": {
"oneDay": 1570513.1603542287
},
"securityScore": 92,
"logo": "https://adds-token-info-29a861f.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/marketing/evm/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933_icon.png",
"isVerifiedContract": true,
"fullyDilutedValuation": 3673531388.384607,
"totalHolders": 427466
