get metadata from metaplex

index.ts

// EDIT: It's now much easier to get metadata from metaplex using the js package.

running your code as is results in the error:

`➜ solanaTS npx ts-node index.ts
⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
index.ts:16:47 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'PublicKey' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
index.ts:20:51 - error TS2345: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'PublicKey'.

20 const accInfo = await connection.getAccountInfo(m);`

any idea what's going on?

thanks

Here, key doesn't seem to be used, is it needed?

It's now much easier to get and decode metadata with the metaplex js package: https://gist.github.com/dvcrn/a1b0ff0a0b4b3ab02aff44bc84ac4522
