How to make your first API call
Below is an example of an API request to get the list of blockchains supported by Unleash NFTs. Before running the command, make sure "your API key" in the header section is replaced with a valid api key.
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.unleashnfts.com/api/v1/blockchains?sort_by=blockchain_name&offset=0&limit=30 \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: your API key'
The API response will provide the list of blockchains supported by Unleash NFTs, along with additional details about the blockchains.
Below is the API response:

How to get the NFT market report
Some of the sample market metrics are provided below, while the full list of metrics can be found here.
Metric name (in API) | Metric unit | Metric description |
---|---|---|
marketcap | [currency] | The total market value of the NFT collection calculated as the sum of each NFT valued at the average trading price of the collection. |
volume | [currency] | A measure of how much of an NFT collection was traded |
sales | count | Number of NFTs sold |
traders | count | Number of traders (either buyer and or seller) |
washtrade_volume | [currency] | Total trade value suspected of washtrade |
holders | Count | Number of traders currently holding NFTs |
transfers | Count | Number of NFTs flipped (includes both sale and non sale NFT transfers) |
Single metric:
for example, Volume
In this case, all the configuration of the API is managed by query parameters. For example, to obtain a single metric data for a blockchain, by following query parameters
-
metrics required - metrics sales are passed
-
currency - USD for US Dollar
-
blockchain - chain id 1 for Ethereum and 137 for Polygon
-
time_range - The metric data can be obtained for different time range like 24h, 7d, 30d, and all.
-
include_washtrade - set True or False to include wash trade
Example:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.unleashnfts.com/api/v1/market/metrics?currency=usd&blockchain=1&metrics=sales&time_range=24h&include_washtrade=true \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: your API key'
From the response, we get the market metrics values for the selected metrics which can be used for further analysis. In Ethereum, we can obtain how much sales have stood from this endpoint.
Response
{
"metric_values": {
"sales": {
"value": 58941,
"unit": "count"
}
}
}
Multiple metrics:
for example, Marketcap, Volume, Transaction
To obtain multiple metric data for a particular blockchain. This is used to find multiple trends data for a selected blockchain, like Ethereum and Polygon. All the configuration of the API is managed by query parameters. For example, to obtain multiple metric data for the selected blockchain, by following query parameters.
-
metrics required - multiple metrics are passed, like transactions and volume
-
currency - USD for US Dollar
-
blockchain - chain id 1 for Ethereum and 137 for Polygon
-
time_range - The metric data can be obtained for different time range like 24h, 7d, 30d, and all.
-
include_washtrade - set True or False to include wash trade
Example
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.unleashnfts.com/api/v1/market/metrics?currency=usd&blockchain=1&metrics=transactions&metrics=volume&time_range=all&include_washtrade=true \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: your API key'
When we pass the multiple metrics like transactions and volume in API, it will generate a list of values of that metrics in a blockchain.
Response
{
"metric_values": {
"transactions": {
"value": 84717,
"unit": "count"
},
"volume": {
"value": "22036370.0",
"unit": "usd"
}
}
}
Single trend data:
for example, Volume
To obtain trend data for selected metrics on a Blockchain for a selected time range, like for 24 hours, data will generate results within a day. The query parameters are listed below
-
metrics required - Single metrics are passed, like transactions and volume
-
currency - USD for US Dollar
-
blockchain - chain id 1 for Ethereum and 137 for Polygon
-
time_range - The metric data can be obtained for different time range like 24h, 7d, 30d, and all.
-
include_washtrade - set True or False to include wash trade
Example:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.unleashnfts.com/api/v1/market/trend?currency=usd&blockchain=1&metrics=traders&time_range=15m&include_washtrade=true \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: your API key'
For example, to obtain data for the total trade value for the latest 24h data, we use the API below to generate the latest 24 hours data.
Response

Multiple trend data:
for example, Traders, Sellers, Buyers
To obtain trend data for multiple metrics in Blockchain for a selected time range, for example, 24 hours data, the API will generate results for multiple trends within a day. It can be used to create a dashboard or data analysis to represent blockchain performance in selected metrics. For example to obtain multiple trend data for a blockchain, follow the query parameters below:
-
metrics required - Single metrics are passed, like transactions and volume
-
currency - USD for US Dollar
-

How to get the collection details:
To get the collection metadata information, such as thumbnail URL, description, and social media URL, all the API configuration is managed by path parameters. For example, to obtain the list of NFT in a collection for a blockchain, follow the path parameters below:
-
blockchain required - chain id 1 for Ethereum and 137 for Polygon
-
address required - collection address
Example:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.unleashnfts.com/api/v1/collection/1/0x57f1887a8bf19b14fc0df6fd9b2acc9af147ea85 \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: your API key'
We need to pass the blockchain and address as path parameters, and thereafter, it will fetch the metadata details of that collection. Then, we can use the data to create a dashboard to view the collection details.
