It now supports over 60 public interfaces for EVM-compatible chains, as well as a set of interfaces for Solana, Aptos, Bitcoin, and TON with the same model, which largely meets the needs of developers to index various types of NFT data.
Fantom NFT API Models
These include the following three model interfaces, which provide an overall introduction and explanation of the core fields of these API models. This helps developers understand how to retrieve data and use this information to serve their own Dapp services.
Assets API: “Assets” are the most critical data fields in NFTs, used to uniquely identify and describe digital assets. Developers can extract the “Assets” data of NFTs on the Fantom blockchain to gain a comprehensive understanding and build related applications. The “Assets” object provides the unique identifier of the digital asset and data on its entire lifecycle, providing a foundation for developers to understand and apply NFTs.
Transactions API: The transaction model represents the full transaction data of an NFT asset on the blockchain, providing developers with complete transaction information for the lifecycle of an NFT. This includes minting, transfers, sales, and other transaction activities of NFTs, providing developers with opportunities to understand the flow and evolution of NFT assets in the Fantom ecosystem. NFTScan continuously aggregates the NFT trading market and related transaction contract information from various blockchain networks. Currently, NFTScan has collected dynamic NFT market tracking and understanding information, which also helps developers build NFT-based applications and tools.
Collections API: NFTScan retrieves off-chain data related to NFT collections, such as descriptions, social media, and other basic information, by leveraging popular NFT market APIs from various blockchain networks. Additionally, the current floor price information is based on centralized data from the NFT market and is accessible via API.
Fantom 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 can use the “Get single NFT” endpoint of the API, “/v2/assets/{contract_address}/{token_id}”, to retrieve detailed information about a single NFT item under a contract address. The path parameters include contract_address and token_id for selection. Here, we query an NFT with the contract address veEQUAL and token id 1.
We retrieve the detailed information of a single NFT item under a contract address through the “Get single NFT” API, which is “/v2/assets/{contract_address}/{token_id}”. The path parameters include contract_address and token_id for selection. In this case, we are querying the NFT with veEQUAL as the contract address and token id 1.
Upon clicking “Try it,” the returned data includes the basic information query of the NFT asset contract address, metadata information, and rarity description.
2/ Retrieve Transactions Series
- Get transactions by account (This interface returns a list of NFT transactions for a wallet address)
- Get transactions by contract (This interface returns a list of NFT transactions for an NFT contract address
- Get transactions by NFT (This interface returns a list of NFT transactions for a single NFT)
- Search transactions (This interface returns a list of NFT transactions by applying search filters in the request body)
- Get transactions by address (This interface returns a list of NFT transactions filtered by transaction parameters)
- Get transactions by hash (This interface returns transaction records based on a list of transaction hashes)
We use the “Get transactions by contract” API to retrieve the transaction records of a specific address. The query parameters allow us to select the NFT event types (Mint/Transfer/Sale/Burn) of the transactions, separated by ‘;’. In this case, we are selecting the Mint event type. After entering your API key, the response data will contain all the key details of the NFT transaction, including transaction hash, block information, From and To addresses, contract address, transaction timestamp, as well as specific features of the NFT transaction such as Token ID, transaction amount, and cryptocurrency.
3/ Retrieve Collections Series
- Get an NFT collection (Retrieve details based on the contract address of the collection, including an overview and classification of items based on descriptions, distribution of holders, average prices, floor prices, and other basic summary information)

Building Relevant NFT API Requests
Developers can find the required Fantom API interface and parameters in the NFTScan API documentation. They can then use their chosen programming language, such as Python, Java, JavaScript, etc., to write the API request code.
Here is an example that demonstrates how to request transaction records for an NFT contract address using Python. In this example, we use the NFT interface “/v2/transactions/{contract_address}” to retrieve the transaction records for the contract address 0x8313f3551c4d3984ffbadfb42f780d0c8763ce94:
import requests
Define the Fantom NFTScan API endpoint and contract address
api_endpoint = "https://api.nftscan.com/v2/transactions"
contract_address = "0x8313f3551c4d3984ffbadfb42f780d0c8763ce94"
Construct the API request URL
url = f"{api_endpoint}/{contract_address}"
Make an HTTP GET request
response = requests.get(url)
Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
# Get the returned JSON data
data = response.json()
# Process the returned contract address transaction records
print("Contract address transaction records:")
print(data) # This will print the retrieved contract address transaction records; you can further process or extract information as needed
else:
print("Request failed:", response.status_code)
This code sends an HTTP GET request to the Fantom NFTScan API to retrieve the transaction records for the given contract address. After running the code, developers will receive the transaction records for that contract address and can further process or extract the information as needed.
