Getting Started

The @metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api package can be use to interact with Metaplex DAS API:

The DAS API client is a Umi plugin so you will have to install Umi in conjunction with the DAS API client.

You can install umi and the plugin from the location below.

npm install @metaplex-foundation/umi
npm install @metaplex-foundation/umi-bundle-defaults
npm install @metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api

Once installed you can register the library with your Umi instance.

import { dasApi } from "@metaplex-foundation/digital-asset-standard-api"
import { createUmi } from '@metaplex-foundation/umi-bundle-defaults';

const umi = createUmi("exampleDasProvider.com").use(dasApi());

The plugin can be used with any RPC that supports the Metaplex DAS API specification – RPCs that support the specification can be found on the RPC Providers page.

Note You might need to contact your RPC provider to "enable" the DAS API on your endpoint.

DAS for MPL Core

The DAS Extension for MPL Core helps directly returns you the correct types to further use with the MPL SDKs. It also automatically derives the plugins in assets inherited from the collection and provides functions for DAS-to-Core type conversions.

To use it first install the additional package:

npm install @metaplex-foundation/mpl-core-das

Then import that package

import { das } from '@metaplex-foundation/mpl-core-das';

After this you can either use the Core specific functions like mentioned above.
