In this guide, you’ll learn how to retrieve token launch creators/deployers using the Bags TypeScript SDK with Node.js. This includes provider, display name, wallet address, royalty percentage, and profile image.

​
Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:

​
1. The Token Creators Script

Here is a comprehensive script to fetch token creator information. Save this as get-token-creators.ts. This script retrieves detailed information about the primary creator and any additional launch participants, including provider, display name, wallet, profile picture, and royalty percentage. 
import dotenv from "dotenv";
dotenv.config({ quiet: true });

import { BagsSDK } from "@bagsfm/bags-sdk";
import { PublicKey, Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";

// Initialize SDK
const BAGS_API_KEY = process.env.BAGS_API_KEY;
const SOLANA_RPC_URL = process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL;

if (!BAGS_API_KEY || !SOLANA_RPC_URL) {
    throw new Error("BAGS_API_KEY and SOLANA_RPC_URL are required");
}

const connection = new Connection(SOLANA_RPC_URL);
const sdk = new BagsSDK(BAGS_API_KEY, connection, "processed");

async function getTokenCreators(tokenMint: string) {
    try {
        console.log(`🔍 Fetching token creators for: ${tokenMint}`);
        
        const creators = await sdk.state.getTokenCreators(new PublicKey(tokenMint));
        
        console.log(`📊 Found ${creators.length} creator(s)/deployer(s)`);

        const primaryCreator = creators.find(c => c.isCreator);

        if (!primaryCreator) {
            throw new Error("❌ No primary creator found for this token!");
        }

        console.log("✨ Primary Creator Details:");
        console.log(`👤 Display Name: ${primaryCreator.providerUsername ?? primaryCreator.username ?? "N/A"}`);
        console.log(`🔗 Provider: ${primaryCreator.provider ?? "unknown"}`);
        console.log(`👛 Wallet: ${primaryCreator.wallet}`);
        console.log(`🎨 Profile Picture: ${primaryCreator.pfp}`);
        console.log(`💰 Royalty: ${primaryCreator.royaltyBps / 100}%`);

        const others = creators.filter(c => !c.isCreator);
        if (others.length > 0) {
            console.log("\n🤝 Other Launch Participants:");
            others.forEach((participant, idx) => {
                console.log(`\n#${idx + 1}`);
                console.log(`👤 Display Name: ${participant.providerUsername ?? participant.username ?? "N/A"}`);
                console.log(`🔗 Provider: ${participant.provider ?? "unknown"}`);
                console.log(`👛 Wallet: ${participant.wallet}`);
                console.log(`🎨 Profile Picture: ${participant.pfp}`);
                console.log(`💰 Royalty: ${participant.royaltyBps / 100}%`);
            });
        } else {
            console.log("\n📝 No additional launch participants found for this token");
        }

        console.log("\n✅ Successfully retrieved token creators!");
    }
    catch (error) {
        console.error("🚨 Error fetching token creators:", error);
    }
}

getTokenCreators("CyXBDcVQuHyEDbG661Jf3iHqxyd9wNHhE2SiQdNrBAGS");

​
2. Run Your Script

To analyze a token’s creators, edit the getTokenCreators function call at the bottom of the script with the actual mint address you want to analyze. Then, run the script from your terminal: 
npx ts-node get-token-creators.ts

​
What You’ll See

The script will output detailed information about the token’s launch creators/deployers: Example output: 
🔍 Fetching token creators for: CyXBDcVQuHyEDbG661Jf3iHqxyd9wNHhE2SiQdNrBAGS
📊 Found 2 creator(s)/deployer(s)

Understanding the Data

  • isCreator: Identifies the primary token creator. There can be multiple creators/deployers, but at most one will have isCreator: true.
  • provider: The social/login provider associated with the creator (e.g., twitter, tiktok, kick, github). Use this to show a platform logo. May be unknown or null.
  • providerUsername: The username on the provider platform, when available. Prefer this for display. The plain username is a Bags internal username and may be absent.
  • wallet: The creator’s wallet address.
  • pfp: URL to the profile image, when available.
  • royaltyBps: Royalty in basis points. Divide by 100 to display as a percentage.

​
Key Information Retrieved:

  • Display Name: providerUsername if present, otherwise username
  • Provider: Source platform for displaying logos and context
  • Wallet: Wallet address string
  • Profile Picture: URL string
  • Royalty: Percentage derived from royaltyBps / 100

​
