Response Type

See Shared Types for Launch, BaseToken, and Socials definitions.

TypeScript

interface LaunchResponse {
  data: {
    launch: Launch;
    baseToken: BaseToken;
    website: string;
    socials: Socials;
  };
}

Rust

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
pub struct LaunchData {
    pub launch: Launch,
    pub base_token: BaseToken,
    pub website: String,
    pub socials: Socials,
}

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct LaunchResponse {
    pub data: LaunchData,
}

Usage Examples

TypeScript

const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.metaplex.com/v1/launches/7nE9GvcwsqzYcPUYfm5gxzCKfmPqi68FM7gPaSfG6EQN"
);
const { data }: LaunchResponse = await response.json();
console.log(data.baseToken.name); // "My Token"

Rust

let response: LaunchResponse = reqwest::get(
    "https://api.metaplex.com/v1/launches/7nE9GvcwsqzYcPUYfm5gxzCKfmPqi68FM7gPaSfG6EQN"
)
.await?
.json()
.await?;

println!("{}", response.data.base_token.name); // "My Token"

Notes

Finding genesis pubkeys requires indexing or getProgramAccounts. If you only have a token mint, use the Get Launches by Token endpoint instead.
Returns 404 if the genesis address is not found or does not have a valid launch.
The mechanic field indicates the allocation mechanism (e.g., launchpoolV2, presaleV2). The type field indicates the launch category (project, memecoin, or custom).
