getTokenReserves

This function fetches Uniswap reserve data for a given token address on a given network.

  • If only a chain id is specified, the Ethereum node used to fulfill data requests is determined by ethers.getDefaultProvider, else it is the one specified by the passed provider.
  • This function throws an error if the provided tokenAddress is not a token with a Uniswap exchange.

Function Signature​

export async function getTokenReserves(
  tokenAddress: string,
  chainIdOrProvider: ChainIdOrProvider = 1
): Promise<TokenReservesNormalized>

Input Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
tokenAddressstringThe checksummed address of a token with a Uniswap exchange.
chainIdOrProviderChainIdOrProviderA supported chain id (1, 3, 4, or 42), or an underlying web3 provider connected to a chain with a supported chain id.

const chainIdOrProvider: ChainIdOrProvider = 1 // could be e.g. window.ethereum instead

const tokenReserves: TokenReservesNormalized = await getTokenReserves(tokenAddress, chainIdOrProvider)
