How Collections Work

The Collections API provides a unified interface for working with NFT projects across multiple blockchain networks:
  1. Collection Discovery - Search and filter collections by name, verification status, and network
  2. Individual Access - Retrieve detailed information about specific collections
  3. Trending Analysis - Identify collections gaining momentum across different timeframes
  4. Market Integration - Access real-time floor prices, volumes, and trading data

Integration Workflow

1. Collection Discovery

Discover NFT collections using filtering by chain, search terms, and verification status. Results include comprehensive collection metadata.

2. Collection Details

Access detailed information about specific collections by chain ID and contract address. Responses include metadata, verification status, and collection statistics.

3. Market Analysis

Analyze trending collections and access comprehensive trading metrics including volume changes, floor price movements, and performance data across multiple time periods for strategic decision-making.
