    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const response =
    await Moralis.EvmApi.marketData.getTopERC20TokensByMarketCap();

  console.log(response.raw);
};

runApp();

    // ...and any other configuration
  });

  const response =
    await Moralis.EvmApi.marketData.getTopERC20TokensByMarketCap();

  console.log(response.raw);
};

runApp();

index.py (Python)
