Last week, the NFTScan developer platform launched NFT API services for the TON network. TON (The Open Network) is a high-performance Layer 1 public blockchain created by the Telegram team. It uses its own TVM virtual machine and is incompatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). Through an advanced technical architecture, it achieves processing speeds of millions of transactions per second (TPS) and supports smart contract and DApp development. TON utilizes sharding to enhance scalability while ensuring network security through data partitioning and other measures. Its aim is to establish a high-speed, secure, and scalable decentralized network, laying a solid foundation for building the Web 3.0 ecosystem.Currently, the TON network has issued a total of 1,204,487 NFT assets, consisting of 10,123 NFT collections, with 2,888,936 transaction records. There are 762,453 wallet addresses that have engaged in transactions, and the total transaction volume is 15,083,265 TON. In addition to the 15 chains that are EVM-compatible, NFTScan also supports four non-EVM blockchains: Bitcoin, Aptos, Solana.You can access NFTScan for TON here:<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/04130259cff648dba90aff57df4d6630.png" />https://ton.nftscan.com/chart<h3 id="how-to-access-nftscan-nft-api">How to Access NFTScan NFT API:</h3>Step 1: Create a Developer AccountBefore using the NFTScan API, you need to visit the developer website and create an account.

This extensive coverage includes a wide variety of NFT data, providing a comprehensive suite of interfaces to access ERC721 and ERC1155 assets, as well as transaction, project, and market statistics. NFTScan now supports over 60 public interfaces tailored for EVM-compatible chains, and it offers a set of similar models for Solana, Aptos, and Bitcoin. These services substantially cater to developers’ needs for indexing diverse types of NFT data.<img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*dB4ZXDCFqeT3yXQw80efnA.png" />Step 3: The TON API consists of the following five main types of interfaces&#34;Retrieve Asset/Retrieve Transaction/Retrieve Collection/Statistics/Refresh Metadata,&#34; along with an overall introduction and explanation of the core fields of these APIs, is designed to facilitate developers in understanding how to access data and utilize this information for their Dapp services under construction.Retrieve Asset Series:<ul><li>Get NFTs by account:/ton/account/own/{account_address}</li><li>Get all NFTs by account:/ton/account/own/all/{account_address}</li><li>Get minted NFTs by account:/sol/account/mint/{account_address}</li><li>Get NFTs by contract:/ton/assets/collection/{contract}</li><li>Get a single NFT:/ton/assets/{token_address}</li><li>Get multiple NFTs:/ton/assets/batch</li></ul>These APIs provide developers with a simple and efficient way to access various NFT data. This includes retrieving NFT lists based on user accounts or contract addresses, obtaining detailed information about individual or multiple NFTs, and accessing basic information and metadata for on-chain NFTs directly. These interfaces reduce the complexity of on-chain data and significantly lower the difficulty of obtaining detailed NFT data, making them a crucial foundation for developing DApps and data analysis applications based on TON NFTs.Retrieve Transaction Series:<ul><li>Get transactions by account:/ton/transactions/account/{account_address}</li><li>Get transactions by contract:/ton/transactions/collection/{contract}</li><li>Get transactions by NFT:/ton/transactions/{token_address}</li></ul>These interfaces make it easy to retrieve various transaction information related to TON NFTs on the blockchain. This includes historical transaction records for a specific NFT based on accounts, collections, asset addresses, and returns key transaction data for each transaction. These interfaces provide raw on-chain block event data, eliminating the need for developers to handle on-chain extraction. With simple interface calls, developers can obtain the necessary TON NFT transaction data. After obtaining this data, developers can use it to implement data analysis, transaction systems, and other applications.Retrieve Collection Series:<ul><li>Get an NFT collection:/ton/collections/{collection}</li><li>Search NFT collections:/ton/collections/filters</li></ul>These interfaces allow developers to search for NFT collections by specifying collection addresses or filtering criteria, returning a list of collections that match the specified conditions. Developers can use these interfaces to obtain an overview and lists of various projects and develop applications based on this information. For example, a data analysis platform can compile statistics for each collection and showcase information about popular NFT collections.Statistics Series:<ul><li>Trade Ranking:/ton/statistics/ranking/trade</li><li>Collection Statistics:/ton/statistics/collection/{collection}</li></ul>The Trade Ranking interface provides access to the TON blockchain&#39;s NFT trade rankings, while the Collection Statistics interface allows developers to obtain key statistical data for a specific collection by specifying its address. These statistical interfaces significantly simplify the process of gathering NFT data for statistical analysis, making it easier to build NFT trade analysis platforms and provide essential statistical parameters for NFT applications.Refresh Metadata:<ul><li>/ton/refresh/metadata</li></ul>This interface is used to submit background tasks for refreshing the metadata of specified NFT assets.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/ae944d95db2845989150244545468a9d.png" /><h3 id="query-related-api">Query Related API</h3>1/ Get NFTs by contract: /ton/assets/contract/{contract_address}With this interface to the NFTScan TON API, developers can retrieve an NFT contract address and return a list of NFTs for the entire Contract, sorted in ascending order by token address. Here we enter the contract address: EQCA14o1-VWhS2efqoh_9M1b_A9DtKTuoqfmkn83AbJzwnPi<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/75eb400bd49a418c989367a8dea7381d.png" />Clicking Try it will return detailed information of all NFT assets under the contract address and so on. The data is returned in pages by default, and you can control the number of pages and page number by limit and cursor parameters, and the returned data includes the token address, token id, metadata, owner address and other data of each NFT. The returned data is paged by default, and the number of pages and page number can be controlled by limit and cursor parameters, so as to flexibly obtain NFT data with different granularity. After obtaining the returned data, developers can build applications to display NFT details, or extract the data for subsequent analysis.You can see that there are 102,185 Items under this contract address, and the data is displayed as follows:<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/3efe4c87828f41c5bef65247553b3b05.png" />2/ Get transactions by account: /ton/transactions/account/{account_address}By calling this interface and inputting the account address, the query parameter can be selected to query the specified NFT contract address, the developer can easily get the data of all the historical NFT transfer transactions in which the wallet address has been involved as a sender or receiver, including The developer can easily get the data of all historical NFT transfer transactions in which the wallet address is involved as a sender or receiver, including the block height, timestamp, Token ID, transaction price, transaction type and other information of each transaction. Here we query the address: EQBwPvcqbRCICLo3cWOiFPO1QdmNZBcYAfpvwEaxjr9hKP-R<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/ce34ca097a3448208d8c80d1aae3a474.png" />3/ Trade Ranking:/ton/statistics/ranking/tradeThis interface helps developers quickly obtain ranking data for NFT projects in the TON ecosystem. The interface returns a set of data sorted from high to low based on filtering criteria, such as transaction volume. With this ranking list, developers can clearly identify the most active NFT projects, assess the liquidity of different projects, and determine potential projects or those that require further research.You can check query parameters like &#34;time&#34; (15m/30m/1h/6h/12h/1d/7d/30d) and sorting fields (volume/sales/floor_price/average_price) to perform condition-based filtering on NFT trade ranking data.
