It now supports over 60 public interfaces for EVM-compatible chains and a batch of similar model interfaces for Solana, Aptos, Bitcoin, and TON, greatly satisfying developers’ needs to index various types of NFT data.
Mint NFT API Models
The Mint NFT API includes three main models, providing developers with detailed information and descriptions of the core fields within these models. This enables developers to retrieve data and utilize the information to effectively serve their Dapp services.
Assets API: “Assets” represent the most crucial data fields within NFTs, uniquely identifying and describing digital assets. Developers can gain comprehensive insights and build relevant applications by extracting the “Assets” data from the Mint Blockchain. The “Assets” object provides the unique identification of digital assets, along with data about their entire lifecycle, laying the foundation for developers to understand and leverage NFTs.
Transactions API: The transactions model represents the complete history of all transactions related to an NFT asset on the blockchain, offering developers insights into the full lifecycle of NFT transactions. This includes minting, transfers, sales, and other transaction activities, allowing developers to gain an in-depth understanding of the flow and evolution of NFT assets within the Mint ecosystem. NFTScan continuously aggregates NFT transaction data from various blockchain networks, facilitating developers in tracking and understanding the dynamics of the NFT market. This data also assists developers in building NFT-based applications and tools.
Collections API: The Collections API provides NFTScan with off-chain data related to NFT collections, including descriptions, social media information, and other basic details. NFTScan retrieves this information through APIs provided by leading NFT markets across different blockchain networks. Additionally, the current floor price information is based on centralized data obtained through API from NFT market orders and is available for developers to access.
Mint NFT API Retrieval
1/Retrieve Assets Series
- Get NFTs by account (Retrieve NFTs using a wallet address)
- Get all NFTs by account (Retrieve all NFTs associated with a wallet address and group them by contract address. If the total number of NFTs owned by the account exceeds 2000, the returned NFTs will be limited to 2000 or less. In such cases, developers and users can use pagination queries to retrieve all NFTs owned by the account.)
- Get minted NFTs by account (Retrieve NFTs minted by a specific wallet address)
- Get NFTs by contract (Retrieve NFTs using a contract address, sorted by token_id in ascending order)
- Get single NFT (Retrieve details of a single NFT)
- Get multiple NFTs (Retrieve details of multiple NFTs from different contract addresses simultaneously)
- Search NFTs (This interface returns a list of NFT assets by applying search filters in the request body. Assets are sorted by nftscan_id in ascending order.)
- Get NFTs by attributes (This interface returns a set of NFTs belonging to contract addresses with specific attributes. NFTs are sorted by token_id in ascending order.)
- Get all multi-chain NFTs by account (This interface returns all multi-chain NFTs owned by a specific wallet address, grouped by contract address.)
Here we retrieve the detailed information of NFTs under a contract address using the “Get NFTs by contract” API endpoint “/v2/assets/{contract_address}”, with the path parameter of contract_address as the selection.
In this case, we are querying the detailed data of NFTs under the contract address 0x776fcec07e65dc03e35a9585f9194b8a9082cddb, named GreenID.
Click on Try it, the data is retrieved as follows, the data response shows the basic data and metadata information of all items in the NFT Collection. Here we select GreenID, you can see that there are a total of 374248 items in this project, and the returned data is sorted by token_id. For example, the item with id 1:
A single item data:
0x776fcec07e65dc03e35a9585f9194b8a9082cddb, named GreenID, with NFT Token id 1, representing 1% in the project. The protocol standard is erc721. Data includes the wallet address of the owner at the time of minting, timestamp of minting/hash address of Mint, Token URI address, latest_trade_price, latest_trade_symbol, latest_trade_timestamp, etc.
Metadata: Metadata for this project is hosted on IPFS, with token_uri at https://www.mintchain.io/api/tree/metadata/1. Format is image/png, and includes storage path and description of detailed features of the image.

2/ Retrieve Transactions Series
- Get transactions by account (This interface retrieves a list of NFT transactions for a wallet address)
- Get transactions by contract (This interface retrieves a list of NFT transactions for an NFT contract address
- Get transactions by NFT (This interface retrieves a list of NFT transactions for a single NFT)
- Search transactions (This interface retrieves a list of NFT transactions by applying search filters in the request body)
- Get transactions by address (This interface retrieves a list of NFT transactions filtered by transaction parameters)

Here we can retrieve the transaction records of a specific NFT contract address by using the “Get transactions by NFT” “/v2/transactions/{contract_address}/{token_id}” endpoint. The query parameters allow us to select the NFT event types (Mint/Transfer/Sale/Burn) by using ‘;’ to separate multiple events.
In this case, we are retrieving the Mint transaction records of the NFT token with tokenID 1. We can choose to include all event types (Mint/Transfer/Sale/Burn) in the query. The response data will contain key transaction details for all transactions related to this NFT item, such as transaction hash, From and To addresses, block information, gas consumption, transaction timestamp, and other basic data about the NFT transactions. The data returned shows that there is currently only one Mint-related transaction record for this item.

Building NFTAPI Requests
Building NFTAPI requests related to NFTScan is very simple and convenient. Developers just need to browse the API documentation to find the desired endpoints, and understand the endpoint URL, request method, parameters, etc. Then, based on their requirements, they can choose a programming language such as JavaScript, Python, Java, etc. and use the HTTP request library of that language to send the constructed requests to the endpoint URL. When writing the code, developers just need to organize the API parameters, such as contract address, API Key, etc., and call the corresponding NFTScan endpoint to retrieve standardized JSON data easily.
Here, we use the API endpoint “Get an NFT collection”/v2/collections/{contract_address} to fetch details data of the GreenID project on MintBlockchain with the contract address 0x776fcec07e65dc03e35a9585f9194b8a9082cddb. We can make an HTTP GET request to NFTScan’s API endpoint using Python’s requests library like this:
import requests
def get_nft_collection_details(contract_address, api_key): base_url = "https://api.nftscan.com/v2/collections/" url = f"{base_url}{contract_address}" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "x-api-key": api_key }
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
else:
return {"error": f"Failed to retrieve data: {response.status_code}"}
Example usage
contract_address = "0x776fcec07e65dc03e35a9585f9194b8a9082cddb" api_key = "your_api_key_here"
nft_details = get_nft_collection_details(contract_address, api_key) print(nft_details)
Code Interpretation:
Import requests library: Use import requests to import the required library.
Define function get_nft_collection_details:
contract_address: NFT contract address.
api_key: API Key for authentication.
Build URL: Concatenate the base URL with the contract_address.
Set request headers: Including Content-Type and x-api-key, the latter is used for authentication.
Send request: Use requests. get to send a GET request.
Handle response:
If the request is successful (status code 200), return JSON data.
Otherwise, retrieve an error message.
This code is just an example, developers should refer to the actual application for construction. Make sure to replace your_api_key_here with the actual API Key.
