How to fetch contract metadata
All thirdweb contracts have a read method called contractURI. It returns an IPFS URI (string). You can fetch the data from that location using thirdweb/storage ’s download module. The result should be a JSON object containing the metadata about the contract.
You, however, do not have to go through all the steps above. The metadata can be loaded using the following code snippet:
import { getContractMetadata } from "thirdweb/extensions/common";
const metadata = await getContractMetadata({ contract });An example of the metadata:
{
name: "Bored Ape Yatch Club",
symbol: "APE",
description: "Not the official BAYC collection"
}There isn’t a guaranteed format standard for the contract’s metadata as it can be set arbitrarily by users.
