# How to Get NFT Metadata by Contract and Token ID

> Learn how to fetch detailed metadata for a specific NFT using its contract address and token ID with the Moralis API.

## Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to retrieve detailed metadata for a specific NFT using its contract address and token ID. This includes the name, description, image, attributes/traits, and ownership information. This is essential for building NFT detail pages, verification tools, or collection browsers. We'll use the following Moralis API endpoint:

* [Get NFT Metadata](/data-api/evm/nft/metadata/nft-metadata) - Fetch detailed metadata for a specific NFT

## Prerequisites

* Node.js v18+ installed
* A Moralis API key ([get one free](https://admin.moralis.io))

## Step 1: Set Up Your Project

Create a new directory for your project and initialize it:

```bash theme={null}
mkdir get-nft-metadata && cd get-nft-metadata
npm init -y
```

## Step 2: Create the Script

Create a file called `index.js` and add the following code:

```javascript theme={null}
// index.js
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const NFT_ADDRESS = '0xBC4CA0EdA7647A8aB7C2061c2E118A18a936f13D'; // BAYC
const TOKEN_ID = '1234';

async function getNFTMetadata() {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/nft/${NFT_ADDRESS}/${TOKEN_ID}?chain=eth`,
    {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
      },
    }
  );

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
}

getNFTMetadata();
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual Moralis API key.

## Step 3: Run the Script

Execute the script to fetch the NFT metadata:

```bash theme={null}
node index.js
```
