In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to retrieve data for an NFT collection from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), or any blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
This tutorial was originally published on Bitquery Community. Please check out original post: NFT API - Complete Guide
To get started for free, please create an account with your email: GraphQL IDE .Once you create the account, check out our docs to learn how to create your first query.
To learn more about how to use the Bitquery API, please see the following resources:

To get ownership of an NFT token, we need to provide its token address and ID of the specific NFT. It will provide all the owners if we don’t provide limit and orderBy. By providing this field, we are getting the latest owner of the NFT.
This API uses the BalanceUpdates method, which tracks all balance updates. Additionally, you can get similar results using the Transfers API.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
BalanceUpdates(
where: {BalanceUpdate: {Id: {eq: "9990"}}, Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0x8a90cab2b38dba80c64b7734e58ee1db38b8992e"}}}
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descendingByField: "Balance"}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
Address
}
Balance: sum(of:BalanceUpdate_Amount, selectWhere:{gt:"0"})
}
}
}To get the top holders of an NFT we provide the NFT address in the Currency SmartContract field. We limit the list to 10 owners ordered by the balance.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
BalanceUpdates(
orderBy: {descendingByField: "Balance"}
limit: {count: 10}
where: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0x7dD4F223D9155F412790D696Fa30923489d4Ad34"}}}
) {
BalanceUpdate {
Address
}
Balance: sum(of: BalanceUpdate_Amount, selectWhere: {gt: "0"})
}
}
}The following query provides the daily NFT transfers using the Transfers API.
{
EVM(dataset: combined network: eth){
Transfers(
orderBy: {descendingByField: "count"}
limit: {offset: 10 count: 0}
where: {
Block: {Date: {since: "2023-05-02" till: "2023-05-09" }}
Transfer: {Currency: {Fungible: false}}}
){
Transfer {
Currency {
Symbol
SmartContract
}
}
count
senders: uniq(of: Transfer_Sender method: approximate)
receivers: uniq(of: Transfer_Receiver method: approximate)
ids: uniq(of: Transfer_Id method: approximate)
}
}
}To get the latest transfers, we will provide the NFT token contract address; if you want to track the transfer of a specific NFT, then you can also provide the ID of the NFT with the token address.
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
Transfers(
where: {Transfer: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xdba45c28b32f2750bdc3c25d6a0118d8e1c8ca80"}}}}
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}
) {
Transfer {
Amount
Currency {
Name
Symbol
}
Receiver
Sender
Type
Id
URI
Data
}
}
}
}To get the latest NFT transfers of a user, you can use Transfers APIs; in the following API, we are getting all transfers where the user is the sender and where the user is the receiver.
You can also get transfers of more than 1 user by using in: [] operators instead of is: {}
{
EVM(dataset: archive, network: eth) {
sent: Transfers(
where: {Transfer: {Sender: {is: "0x415bdfed5a7c490e1a89332648d8eb339d4eea69"}}}
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}
) {
Transfer {
Amount
Currency {
Name
Symbol
}
Receiver
Sender
Type
Id
URI
}
}
recieved: Transfers(
where: {Transfer: {Receiver: {is: "0x415bdfed5a7c490e1a89332648d8eb339d4eea69"}}}
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}
) {
Transfer {
Amount
Currency {
Name
Symbol
}
Receiver
Sender
Type
Id
URI
}
}
}
}Using our Streaming APIs, you can also subscribe to changes on blockchains. We use a GrpahQL subscription, which is similar to WebSockets. For example, in the following API, we are subscribing to the latest transfers of 0xdba45c28b32f2750bdc3c25d6a0118d8e1c8ca80 NFT token.
subscription {
EVM(network: eth, trigger_on: head) {
Transfers(
where: {Transfer: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xdba45c28b32f2750bdc3c25d6a0118d8e1c8ca80"}}}}
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}
) {
Transfer {
Amount
Currency {
Name
Symbol
}
Receiver
Sender
Type
Id
URI
Data
}
}
}
}To check the latest Smart contract calls made on NFT token contracts, you can use our smartContractCalls API.
{
EVM {
Calls(
limit: {count: 10}
orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}
where: {Call: {To: {is: "0x60e4d786628fea6478f785a6d7e704777c86a7c6"}}}
) {
Call {

}
Transaction {

}
Arguments {

}
... on EVM_ABI_String_Value_Arg {

}
... on EVM_ABI_Boolean_Value_Arg {

}
}
}
}
}In the following query, we are getting the latest Opensea trades by tracking the Seaport protocol (Here seaport_v1.4 means all versions of seaport) and all transactions sent to Opensea’s seaport contract 0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {in: "seaport_v1.4"}}}, Transaction: {To: {is: "0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc"}}}
limit: {count: 10}
) {
Trade {

}
Sell {
Currency {

}
}
}
}
}We can aggregate trading vol, trade count, buyer, seller, and nfts and sort them based on trade count in the following query to get the most traded NFT on OpenSea.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {in: "seaport_v1.4"}}}, Transaction: {To: {is: "0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc"}}}
orderBy: {descendingByField: "count"}
limit: {count: 10}
) {
tradeVol: sum(of: Trade_Buy_Amount)
count
buyers: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Buyer)
seller: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Seller)
nfts: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Ids)
Trade {
Buy {
Currency {
Name
ProtocolName
Symbol
Fungible
SmartContract
}
}
}
}
}
}To get the stats for specific NFT we need to add the currency contract address in the above query. For example, check the query below.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {in: "seaport_v1.4"}}, Buy: {Currency: {Fungible: false}}}, Transaction: {To: {is: "0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc"}}}
orderBy: {descendingByField: "count"}
limit: {count: 10}
) {
tradeVol: sum(of: Trade_Buy_Amount)
count
buyer: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Buyer)
seller: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Seller)
nfts: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Ids)
Trade {
Buy {
Currency {

}
}
}
}
}
}query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {in: "seaport_v1.4"}}, Buy: {Currency: {Fungible: false}}}, Transaction: {To: {is: "0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc"}}}
orderBy: {descendingByField: "count"}
limit: {count: 10}
) {
count
uniq_tx: count(distinct: Transaction_Hash)
Block {
first_date: Time(minimum: Block_Date)
last_date: Time(maximum: Block_Date)
}
nfts: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Ids)
difffernt_nfts: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Currency_SmartContract)
total_money_paid: sum(of: Trade_Sell_Amount)
Trade {
Buy {
Buyer
}
}
}
}
}In this query, we will get specific buyer stats for a specific NFT on Opensea.
query MyQuery {
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {in: "seaport_v1.4"}}, Buy: {Currency: {SmartContract: {is: "0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d"}}, Buyer: {is: "0x2f9ecaa66e12b6168996a6b80cda9bb142f80dd0"}}}, Transaction: {To: {is: "0x00000000000000adc04c56bf30ac9d3c0aaf14dc"}}}

nfts: count(distinct: Trade_Buy_Ids)
Trade {

}
}
}
}
}
}In the following query, we are getting all NFT trades for Seaport v1.4 protocol. Many marketplaces utilize the Seaport protocol; we can add a Smart contract in Trade → Dex → SmartContract to get a specific marketplace for this protocol.
query MyQuery {
EVM {
DEXTrades(
limit: {offset: 0, count: 10}
orderBy: {descendingByField: "Block_Time"}
where: {Trade: {Dex: {ProtocolName: {is: "seaport_v1.4"}}}}

}In the following query, we are getting the latest NFT trades of an address.
query MyQuery {

}Let’s get the most traded NFTs of the month using the following query.
{
EVM(dataset: combined, network: eth) {
DEXTrades(
orderBy: {descendingByField: "count"}
limit: {offset: 0, count: 10}
where: {Block: {Date: {since: "2023-05-01", till: "2023-05-28"}}, Trade: {Buy: {Currency: {Fungible: false}}, Sell: {Currency: {Fungible: true}}}}

}
}
buy_amount: sum(of: Trade_Buy_Amount)
sell_amount: sum(of: Trade_Sell_Amount)
