Hello, I try to retrieve the total supply of an asset on stellar. My main goal is to get it for USDC but I'd rather do it for all tokens.
I saw in the standard definition tht there is no totalSupply method equivalent so my guess is that I should check payments from issuer address.
Can someone indicate me how I should proceed ?
Thanks

probably the Horizon API is the best bet to find that atm: https://horizon.stellar.org/assets?asset_code=USDC&asset_issuer=GA5ZSEJYB37JRC5AVCIA5MOP4RHTM335X2KGX3IHOJAPP5RE34K4KZVN&cursor=&limit=10&order=asc
The object returned contains claimable_balances_amount, liquidity_pools_amount, contracts_amount, archived_contracts_amount, and a balances object. sum all those together and you get something like $273million (at time of writing)
that's the total circulating amount for that asset
Stellar Expert (a community-maintained block explorer) also has an asset supply API you could use: https://stellar.expert/openapi.html#tag/Asset-Info-API/operation/getAssetSupply
here's more info on that Horizon API endpoint: https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/horizon/api-reference/list-all-assets
