Java

//Create the account info query
TopicInfoQuery query = new TopicInfoQuery()
    .setTopicId(newTopicId);

//Submit the query to a Hedera network
TopicInfo info = query.execute(client);

//Print the account key to the console
System.out.println(info);

//v2.0.0

JavaScript

//Create the account info query
const query = new TopicInfoQuery()
    .setTopicId(newTopicId);

//Submit the query to a Hedera network
const info = await query.execute(client);

//Print the account key to the console
console.log(info);

//v2.0.0

Go

//Create the account info query
query, err := hedera.NewTopicInfoQuery().
		SetTopicID(topicID)

//Submit the query to a Hedera network
info, err := query.Execute(client)
if err != nil {
		panic(err)
}

//Print the account key to the console
println(info)

//v2.0.0
