Summary

The token() GraphQL query is used to get information on a token based on its unique identification.

API Stability Long-Term

Syntax

graphql
token(
      tokenId: string!
   ): Token!

For the input, you'll have to provide the token's unique identifier. To get that, you can use the tokens() query. For the results, you can get the name of the token, when it was created and when it will expire. See the Returned Values section further down this page for more.

  token(
     tokenID: "abc123" 
    )
