[SOLVED] Get ERC20 token metadata by contract - BASE

Technical Issue Reporting
#1

Hello,

There seems to be a glitch with get token metadata api when trying to retrieve metadata for a newly created token on BASE. It takes about 8 minutes for the api to retrieve actual data from the blockchain. I never faced such issues on other chains (BSC, ETH, Phantom, etc). Please see the images below.

Hello, what is the endpoint that you used to get that token metadata?

You always see that delay of ~8 minutes or it happened only once?

#3

It happens all the time. Delay is about 10 minutes to be precise. I am using Self Hosted Server, the delay is there even if I use the link below.

#4

Sorry I forgot to include the endpoint

options = {
  chain: chainId,
  addresses: [token_address],
};

const tokenMetadata = await Moralis.Web3API.token.getTokenMetadata(options);

#5

Hello, do you have a solution for this issue? It’s clear that the endpoint experiences a 10-minute lag when retrieving token metadata.

Hi @zrco

We have reported the issue to our API team. Will keep you posted as soon as we get an update from the devs🙏

Hi @johnversus

The issue has been resolved. I can mint new base tokens and retrieve token metadata without any delays.

Thank you
