Filter Spam Tokens

Amine Afia

We Introduced a new include_spam query parameter to the ERC20 token endpoint to filter out potential spam tokens.

GET /v1/tokens/erc20/vitalik.eth&include_spam=true

The criteria for identifying spam include:

• Empty token name

• Empty token symbol

• Symbol length greater than 15 characters

• Zero decimals

By default, spam tokens are excluded from responses (include_spam=false). You can try it in our playground by visiting here. See the example bellow:

Here is a Typescript example showing how to use it in your code:

fetchTokens = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(
      "https://1.insight.thirdweb.com/v1/tokens/erc20/vitalik.eth?metadata=true&include_spam=true",
      {
        headers: {
          "x-client-id": clientId,
        },
      },
    );
    const tokensResult = await response.json();
    return tokensResult;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error);
  }
};
